Bob, do you need to guy this "Hytower look-a-like", or does it seem to be
pretty sturdy with the winds you get there? I know that the HyGain HyTower
doesn't need guying.

>> Hi Everyone,
>>
>> I have a few questions, yes, it's ME again. I have the opportunity to buy
>> 45' of Rohn 20 for 150.00...
>>
>> First question,will 25G fit 20G??
>>
>> Second,I am thinking about a full size 75m vertical out of it...how
>> difficult would that be to do? Could I get a 20' "mast" out of the to make
>> up the difference in height needed for a full size radiator?? Or should I
>> get more 20-25G to do it?
>>
>> Also...how CHEAPLY/easily can insulators be purchased for the legs? I've
>> noticed that places that make the insulators are PROUD and want more than
>> $400.00, and that KILLS the point of building this thing right now to be
>> honest. (DO I EVEN HAVE TO INSULATE IT?? I have a friend who built a NON
>> insulated 160m Vertical.) PROS, CONS???
>>
>> Third Question: Can I make it multi-banded? Like just use a tuner on
>> 160-10M?
>>
>>
>> All your thoughts and experience would be great!!
