[TowerTalk] 80 Meter Vertical

[RSOLOMON@systems.TEXTRON.COM]

     Using Rohn 25 sounds a tad overkill to me. I use an old
     Hy-Gain Hy-Tower I picked up second hand, ripped off all
     those extra attachments and extended the top using a load
     of Texas Towers Aluminum tubing. Can be ground mounted or
     insulated.
     Put a length of Poly rope inside top extension, epoxied at
     top and bottom, takes up a lot of the stress from the wind.
