Topband: Hi-Z vertical elements

[Gary Smith]

Thank you all for the many off-list and on 
list replies. It seems like one of the 
most affordable methods is to use the 
fiberglass insertable poles sold on ebay 
so I just ordered two dozen of them in the 
event I someday go to a 4 element array.

I didn't know these were available or I 
would have used them instead of the PVC I 
tried last fall. At least the PVC did hold 
up for the "season".

Cheers,

Gary
