My vertical blew down!!!

I had put up a 1/4 wavelength 20m vertical with 1/8 wavelength radials elevated at 7 feet, with rope guys... and the wind blew it apart like so much tin foil! Does anyone know of a decent commercial design for less than $1000 for a free standing 30 to 40 foot support that can take this darn wind??? Thanks, The Eternal Squire Please tell us where you live to have winds of that magnatude "on a regular basis". I know of a two places like that, not in CONUS of course, the site to the south is inhibited year round by US and Russia, Spain, UK and one or two more that I can't think of right now. Where is your location? " 50 miles west of Gallup, NM." . . New Mexico's answer to Mt. Washington? I Googled him, seems like the biggest wind in his neighborhood is him. KF5DE w3rv |
