[TowerTalk] Verticals?

[n8de at thepoint.net]

Sure do.

Have three Universal aluminum towers that I insulate at the base using  
fiberglass inserts.  I use them as a phased directional array on 80m.   
Each tower is 60' tall with a piece of aluminum tubing extend from the  
top to make it resonant where I prefer to operate.

Just remember to drill some 'weep holes' to allow any trapped moisture  
to drain from the bottom of the tower legs.
You can see two of them on qrz.com

Good luck!
