A cheap tower for antennae?
As the aluminium (aluminum for the Leftpondians) ladder is expected to
hold the weight of a person at the top end, I wonder if any have been pressed into practice as antennae towers? |

Of course they have. We've also used ladders on Field Day: https://www.google.com/search?q=ladder+antenna+tower&tbm=isch I like this one: http://ve7ig.ws/ladder3.jpg http://ve7ig.ws/ladder2.jpg http://ve7ig.ws/ladder4.jpg However, if you're going to try it thyself, please remember that you have only one life to give for your hobby. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Ahem! It's not a, "Hobby", (that is CB Radio). Amateur Radio is a whole-life technical pursuit. |

Now, how about using 4 (or even 5, easier to erect) ladders as a broadband groundplane for the HF bands? |
