[TowerTalk] DX Engineering 66-Foot Vertical?

Fri Mar 13 16:54:56 PDT 2009

It would be interesting to see a printout of all the diameters, lengths wall thicknesses and any other relevant info for each of the aluminum tubing pieces that comprise one of these 66' vertical antennas. Many of us probably have more than just a few compatable pieces already, from previous antenna projects, estate sale antenna collections, etc. and we could just order the "missing" pieces to make a complete 66' set.

I haven't checked to see if the instructions on the web site list the info for the individual pieces of tubing.
