[TowerTalk] 80M 4 Square Array Material options

[Daniel Hileman]

Hi All,

I am looking for advice on material to use for an 80m 4 square. Looking for the cheapest way to build an 80m vertical.  I have looked at towers,used utility poles etc. (Utility poles look like the best option so far.) Curious what you guys use. I know that it may not be cheap, but I would like to do the verticals as cheaply as possible and looking for your input. I do not have 70' trees to hang a wire from (hihi) as I know this would be SUPER cheap. ;-) Like I said, I do not expect it to be free, but $1,800 for an 80m vertical from "Zero-five" antennas is crazy, and really dont want to spend $3,000++ on a 4 square! Looking at options! lol. I know it's alot of aluminum,etc.
