Several folks have these:

I do not, but I have dealt with wb0w, and always gotten a square deal.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Insulator options for 160m vertical

I am planning a 160m vertical with elevated radials, using Rohn 25G tower
sections.  I plan to have the tower insulated at 30' above ground.

Rohn is very proud of their 25TG insulated section and I have heartburn
paying over $2K for the section, so I am looking for alternatives to
insulate this tower. There will be 130' of tower above the insulated part.

Someone recommended using fiberglass rod machined down to fit inside the 3
legs and I am currently investigating this option.

Any other ideas / comments / recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
