Any thoughts on insulating a tower? I have some Rohn 25 that I want to use
to make a home brew version of a Hy-Gain Hy-Tower multi-band vertical. I
am considering two approaches:
1. Buy a plastic cutting board to cut up for material to home brew
insulators to be electrically between the tilt base and the tower proper.
(I have a friend with MS Mech Eng and 35 years hands on experience who
will, if asked, consult on this or help me design it.)
2. Pay the $ and buy 3 insulators from Hy-Gain as replacement parts for a
HY-Gain Hy-Tower antenna.
Any thoughts on item 1 or other ideas to git 'er done.
