I used PVC improvised standoffs for my shunt fed tower.

I just got down from the scary-as-hell trip up the tower. The wind was
really blowing up on top. I stripped the old stuff and will have to go
back once I figure out what is need. The 3 foot (~2 foot past the tower)
wooden stand off I used last time was pretty wx-worn. I don't think PVC
is strong enough and the sun eats the the PVC stuff up. May have to use
a good hard wood again. It will probably out last me. Still not sure how
to secure the Inverted-L antenna wire to the stand off on top. It needs
to be tied off so it will not slip at the bend.

I am getting too old to climb a 22+ year old tower. Everything looked
okay...I just wanted to get down.
