[TowerTalk] 40m 4 Square

[k4sqr@juno.com]

Patrick;

Using  vertical formula of 234/7.000=33.4 feet
or 33 feet 4 & 5/8 inches. 33'4" will certainly be a good starting point
for 7.0.

Starting with 2" OD and going up the chart of smaller sizes, see the 6'
UPS shippable aluminum at www.texastowers.com  A 6" overlap is adequate
for 40 meters.

Using 1" cuts gives two "slots", then again perpendicular results in two
more. A stainless hose clamp tightens this joint very nicely. If in high
wind county, use a splice to obtain 12' of 2" diamter etc. and/or pin the
joints.

73,
