I've seen quite a few requests about thrust bearings. 
has any one thought of making thrust bearings out of taper, or wheel 
bearings.  As they are steel they would require protection from the 
elements, but man they are rugged.

Hi Mike: 
 
It would be better to rephrase your question from referencing radials 
under a 
R8 to referencing radials under any half wave vertical radiator.  The best 
info I've seen on this is available at http://www.cebik.com/vdgp.html. 
 
Give it a read and I think you'll have your answer!
