I now have an Aluminum Lattice Tower. 
It measures 12" across, has 8' sections and assembles to approx 67' tall.

I am wanting to make a vertical for 80 out of it and have about three wires attached to the top in order to make a top loaded
vertical for 160.

I have one section to put in the ground and then a solid very strong fiber glass rod (1 1/2" diameter) to mate the top section to
the section in the ground. Then run radials from the section in the ground and make a matching network.

I found this article as a construction guide and would like your opinions as to whether this will work.
