Building a marine type HF whip
I use alot of PVC pipe to get my VHF antennas up in the air. It
is my
opinion that a 23 foot tall structure made from hardware store quality
PVC will never make you happy, especially of it is made of 3
disassembalble sections. PVC bends over alot in the wind, especially
on warm days.
Point taken. One of the reasons I had considered putting copper tubing
inside... both to act as the radiator, and also to stiffen the PVC.
But.... see my next posted comment on this subject.
