For Field Day we homebrewed a 32 foot vertical out of five swimming pool
poles. Secured to a six foot tripod with spikes in each tripod leg. I have used a vertical supported by a 33' fiberglass push up pole. (Kanga and MFJ among others sell these, about $90) The radiator was #14 stranded wire. Required no guys, clamped the bottom to a 4' wooden fence with a couple of conduit clamps. One year I used my deck railing and conduit clamps. This vertical can easily be raised and lowered by 1 person. I have also used this as the support for an 80-10m inv. vee, and two of them for 80-10m dipole. It took one person (me) 20 minutes to get the 80-10m dipole in the air. I know this didn't exactly answer the question you asked, but it might give you some options. 73 Gary N4AST |
