About,
"Hi I am planning putting up a vertical (130ft tower) insulated form the
ground...of course.
But a the place I want to place it, there is much snow....at least 30
inches of snow at the end of the season.
I wonder if I should elevate the vertical of about 30 inches or if this
snow will not affect the vertical...
Anybody experienced this fact before.. I mean snow at the base of the
vertical....
I would appreciate infos about it"
Many Thanks
NOEL
Snow is an insulator. Plus, the bottom of the tower at the feedpoint is
low-Z, about 35 ohms. For practical purposes the snow will not affect
the antenna.
