Topband: Hi-Z vertical elements

[Gary Smith]

I have the Hi-Z 3 Element Triangular Array 
and need to make something different than 
what I made before. I earlier used 2" PVC 
with a smaller diameter PVC section on top 
and I ran the wire inside. This worked 
well last year but this year the top 
element is like wet spaghetti and the tips 
of all three elements are now pointing to 
the ground. I need to make something that 
will stay straight.

Anyone make any of these and if they are 
inexpensive to make and are durable, what 
did you do to make them?

Thanks,

Gary
