[TowerTalk] Speaking of Vertical

[Jim White, K4OJ]

there are a lot of guys with single element vertical antennas that are 
anything BUT vertical...sometimes needed height is great than potential 
support so the base is moved away from the tower, etc... not all that 
uncommon!

>The "how vertical is vertical" question raises another question. If I put up a wire vertical, how vertical does it have to be? In-other-words, I have a tree that is 50 feet high, or even 60 feet high, how much can I "lean" the vertical wire and get the same results as a "true" vertical wire??
