I am installing a 60 foot vertical antenna that is 6 inches in diameter. =
For 110 mph guying (Hilltop location with no windbreaks to Horizon). =
The vertical will be used for 160 (maybe) 80, 40, and 30 mtrs. It will =
be installed on top of a 20 foot high metal building that is =
approximately 50x100 feet. =20
=20
Is the best method for keeping it up to use guy cable with insulators or =
non metallic guys. I do NOT want this antenna blowing down in a few =
years.
=20
Has anyone else tried this? I am planning to feed with loading coil for =
160, direct for 80, end feed with LC resonant tapped coil for 40 and 30 =
mtrs with relay switching.
