These Resin Support Block Clamps are ideal and can be purchased from
DX Engineering in sizes to 2 1/2 inches. Look in theAntenna Building
Parts section.

method that works extremely well is using materials from thelikes of Home
Depot. That is the use of a sleeve of PVC of theproper diameter to fit the
tubing used and then held in place withconduit clamps mounted on the 4X4

be making a trip to the irrigation tubing supplier in acoupleofdays. Plan on
buying several pieces for a 40m 4 square. I don't havetheambitionfor a 80m 4
square yet. My question is: If I put the pipe on 4X4pressuretreatedposts, do
I need to worry about insulating them? I would guess Iwould havethema foot off
the ground. Or if I elevated them 6 ft or so would thatmake adifference?I have
put verticals up in the past, and was ignorant of any path tog
roundthough thewood I used. I see on the "net" a few pictures of insulated
80verticals.Doug N4IJ_______________________________________________See:
