I want to put up a 65-foot base insulated vertical, likely using Telex
T-15 tower (similar to Rohn 25 but a bit larger). I have a copy of W0UN's
note about utilizing G-10 rod as insulators but would like additional
information. Does anyone on the llist have personal experience with such a
base insulator system?

I am aware that there are commercial insulators available but those are
cost-prohibitive for my meager budget (the G-10 rod will be expensive
enough for my wallet).

This would be used as a combination 160/80 radiator with nothing else
mounted on the tower.

Thanks and 73,

Jack, W6NF
