The DXE verticals are great! The winch is invaluable and works great!
Makes raising and lowering a breeze. The antenna is stout. I have the
full sized which starts at 3 inch and ends up at 7/16? Mostly 6 ft
sections some 3ft. Great bandwidth and it gets out to DX much much
better than my Inverted v @ 70 ft.

hello Charlie and Grant
thanks very much for the advice
Yes, 80 mts verticals at DXE, for 399.95 or 899.95 are very nice antennas
but expensive if you are considering more than 1 antenna :-(

DX Engineering stocks telescoping tubing in many sizes at very good
prices, but mostly limited to 3' and 6' lengths. I've been considering
their 80m vertical kits. It's pretty hard to beat their prices with DIY
sourced aluminum. Then there is some engineering needed for DIY designs.
On Line Metals onlinemetals.com is stocking some telescoping wall
thicknesses (0.058" but nothing so far in 0.120") and I have found full
lengths are available on order, which DXE couldn't supply. Lucky here, it's
a short drive to the Seattle service center, but I see they are also in
Atlanta and other US cities.

Hello
do you know who sell aluminium tubing, telescoping sections, to build a
large vertical antenna?
If near Miami, FL will be better
thanks!
