I am planning a 160m vertical with elevated radials, using Rohn 25G tower 
sections.  I plan to have the tower insulated at 30' above ground.

Rohn is very proud of their 25TG insulated section and I have heartburn paying 
over $2K for the section, so I am looking for alternatives to insulate this 
tower. There will be 130' of tower above the insulated part.

Someone recommended using fiberglass rod machined down to fit inside the 3 legs 
and I am currently investigating this option.

Any other ideas / comments / recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
