I'm considering replacing my 1/2 square with a 1/4 wave vertical. The wires  
keeping breaking in the storms. What I would like to know is if anyone is 
using  Rohn 20/25 as an 80m vertical. I'm sure the physical size is shorter 
because of  the large diameter. If you use a concrete base, that should make  
it 
virtually  insulated from ground. Another consideration is  lightning 
protection. 
You can disconnect the feed when not in use but would a  gap type arrestor be 
sufficient to drain static charges?say a 1/4'' one. Anyone  out there using 
something similar?
