[TowerTalk] 67' vertical

[jim Jarvis]

I just got pricing from Bethlehem Aluminum for a nesting tubular  
vertical.

.125" wall, 6061-T6,  in diameters from 2.25 to 1.00,  12' lengths  
ran around
$225 plus tax.    That's without any clamps, cleanup, cuts or  
shipping.   Quantity one.

Makes the radio vendor pricing look fairly reasonable, eh?

If you needed to UPS it to your site, you'd be constrained to 7'  
lengths.

If I were building a 4 square, I might look at doing it with  
Bethlehem, particularly
since they're only an hour away.   (they have distribution sites  
around the NE, though).

But the DX Engineering base looks pretty snazzy.
