[TowerTalk] Antenna spacing on mast

[Rick Kourey]

Michael,

You don't want to use Schedule 40 pipe.  Just ask the hams in southern
WV who recently experienced severe storms and small twisters.  Those
using tubing (i.e. Chromoly or DOM tubing) survived the storm in fine
shape.  Those using pipe watched them bend and lay over.  Most if not
all are replacing their bent arrays with tubing like I just mentioned.
