Cheap Antenna "towers." (water pipes)
It turns out that I don't have any decent supports for a good long wire
antenna on my property. I do have access to lots of old iron water pipe. I was thinking that I could build a support by screwing together 10ft lengths of this galvanized iron pipe. Start with 1-1/2inch on the ground, use reducing couplers until I am down to 1/2inch at the top. Seems pretty strong and stiff. The wire load would be pretty minimal (we don't get ice storms very often). I could get 30-50ft really easily. Has anyone done this? TIA, Steve -- Steven D.
