[Towertalk] Vertical insulated support

[Jim White, K4OJ]

What a great idea!

These do look great, Arne

I sent them Kwik Block an e-mail asking who their Florida supplier was...I
am about to attempt putting up a couple of verticals this Spring and these
would be perfect!

If someone else has them available easily please chime in...

Maybe we could convince somebody like DX Engineering

http://www.dxengineering.com

who is the guy who bought WA4DRU's U-Bolt and antenna hardware business to
stock these for hams!  They could be packaged along with all stainless hose
clamps for one stop shopping!

And how about packaging it with a ground radial buss kit similar to Lance
Johnson Engineering

model  GP-1


This sure would make the life of a vertical raiser easier!
