Default Radials -- the same length or not???

Is that pole self-supporting? How do you put it up and how do you take it
down?

ps.com...
How tall is your antenna going to be? I'd enjoy having an 80 foot
vertical for 160 through 40 but that's just not going to happen. I'm
looking for low visual impact here..


How about 60 feet?

My approach, since it's a low band antenna, is to put the black
fiberglass pole at night, goes up just before dusk and down in the
morning... I have the 40 foot version.. I don't know if you're
looking for stealth or just low-profile. I'm not antenna restricted or
anything, but I don't see any reason to make my neighbors look at the
vertical all the time.
