[TowerTalk] 43' verticals

[Michael Ryan]

One of the older ARRL Antenna Books had an interesting article some years
about about a helically wound 160 vertical, wound around a 4" or 6" ( I
think ) PVC pipe about 20ft or so high.  Looked like a lot of fun but never
got 'around to it."  - Mike

Funny we just had this same hot topic on our local contesting club
reflector.

They might be better than what you had but IMHO they can't be very good for
80/160.

I wish there were some short miracle antennas for 80 and 160 so I could put
up some 4 squares easily.

Here is your answer:

The 43 ft vertical is discussed about 40% of the way down in the article.
