I am going to be making a trip to the irrigation tubing supplier in a couple
of
days. Plan on buying several pieces for a 40m 4 square.  I don't have the
ambition
for a 80m 4 square yet.  My question is:  If I put the pipe on 4X4 pressure
treated 
posts, do I need to worry about insulating them?  I would guess I would have
them 
a foot off the ground.  Or if I elevated them 6 ft or so would that make a
difference?

I have put verticals up in the past, and was ignorant of any path to ground
though the
wood I used. I see on the "net" a few pictures of insulated 80 verticals.
