Not sure where you are located but have you considered a rebuilt Rohn 
push-up pole?  They come with guy eyelets on floating rings and are 
pretty rugged and reaonably priced.  There is a company here in the 
Tampa area that sells them at the local fests.  I believe they come in 
30 - 90 foot lengths.

I have a large 160m air coil I believe came from a Gap, and another 
large coil on a form w/doorknob caps that I believe came from a 
broadcast antenna, that I plan to use with a push-up pole or my Rohn 25 
tower (perhaps one on each as works best).

Look forward to your reports of your planned vertical.
