By the way, when I talk about the hard job, I am, of course, talking about
an electrical job.

A freestanding vertical has a hard job of standing up in bad weather to do
;-)

I have no gripe or even any comment on any manufacturers' mechanical
designs, and I realize that's a very important part of the design of a good
freestanding 40+ foot antenna.
