Dear W4JLE:

Please expand on the paragraph shown below. Sewer pipe is most often,
hereabout, made of cast iron. What is your pipe made of? How thick is it?
(I assume that the 3/8" mentioned is the height of pieces of pipe that were
used as wire spacers.) How many short sections of pipe did you use?

Thanks, Mac N8TT

I have used a number of methods over the years to cover 75/80 with a

single
antenna. A 12" diameter cage works well at low heights. I used sections of
12 " sewer pipe cut 3/8" thick and 6 wires coming to a cone at the end.
