I'm putting a 20' telescoping mast consisting of 2 10-ft 1.75" diameter tubing
on top of the roof of my house, which will have a 9foot Diamond CP22E 2meter
vertical antenna atop it. I plan to have 4-guys at the top of the mast, and 4
guys mid-mast. The mast assembly will have a 3ft tv antenna tripod as its base.
I live in Marin County, California, half-way up a southeast-facing 800' hill
that
Sees occasional winter wind gusts of 50-60mph and often has 20-30mph winds
Can I use the cheap 4-strand 20gauge RadioShack stuff or do I need something
like
3/32" EHS?
