I'm still trying to decide what to do for an 80-meter vertical antenna 
also, so I also would appreciate seeing a discussion of options for 
70 foot verticals.

What about chain link fence toprail? How high have people used 
it?? My location has less wind than yours, but I still would like 
something that lasts.

Merry Xmas to everyone!
