Does anyone have data on taper schedules for building free-standing vertical
antennas from aluminum or copper? Is it in the Antenna Book, and I just
missed it? What I want is a table that says something like e.g. "if you
want to build a free-standing quarter wave vertical for 40 meters, then use
this taper schedule - 10' 2" o.d. .0120 wall 6061 aluminum, 10' 1 5/8" o.d.
.0120 wall, 10' 1 3/8" o.d. .0120 wall, 4' 1 1/8" o.d. .0120 wall, and it
will stand up in an 80 mph wind without falling over if the base is good."
Thanks!
