[SECC] Vertical Followup - Actually 4 Sqare

[Jeff Clarke]

Gordon...

 Do you have enough trees around your QTH to just make the antennas for the 4 square
using wires???

I would think just around everyone around here has some trees that are high enough to
run ropes that would provide a high enough support. Another idea would be to look
into those 30 push-up masts that Rohn sells -
they might have them at Radio Shack too... I think they are pretty inexpensive.

I was looking at putting up a four square for 40 to start with.

Option 1

Rohn 25      30' x 4  = 120'   x  35 section (used ?)       $   420
Tower Insulator Set from Array Solutions  $180 x 4       $   720
Comtek box                                                               $  350
                                                                           ----------

1490 plus ???? coax, connectors, dummy load, ??


Irrigation Pipe      120'    x   $3.75 foot                          $ 450 (more than
the tower !)
Home Made Insulator ????                                          $    0  ???
Comtek box                                                               $ 350
                                                                            ---------

800


As you can see the insulators are a big cost I didn't think about. Could use some
suggestions..

Just dreaming...
