    Oh it will be guided also mounted up against 9' with @3' in ground of 4x4 or 6x6. So maybe go lower sections up and stay with 1.25" top.

    Telescopic masts

    In 16ga galvanized steel pipe and in 2.5" think theirs a 2.375" used for fence posts. Then insert a 1.375 between 1.5" and 1.25" pipe

    To 43' teescoping mast adding to make it 55' or 65'? And oh yes guided from prob 30'-36' to feed point at 55' or 65'. Be prob 3 way and 6 places guiding it at on each of the 3 sides.

    Really any difference at height?

    So 55' would be max to put it up at feed point for dx and 36' for local at feed point?

    Really any difference at height?

    So how would it be at those heights with an antenna like IMAX 2000 at 36' and 55'?

    Telescopic masts

    What about 10' of 1" EMT or rigid and 1/2" EMT or rigid with 1" FG outside it to isolate it from the imax 2000 mounting plate? Or fit 1/2" EMT or Rigid into center of FG?

    Telescopic masts

    Hmmm maybe 43 add 12' plus a 1 foot or so inside other. Half what I had said think will work being fiberglass? Make it 55' max, think maybe too high. Or not stable from how you sound lol, but am going to put it to 55' at ( base )feed point. The material I am going to use is fiberglass inside...

    Really any difference at height?

    How do verticals 1/4 1/2 5/8 .64 3/4 7/8 at these height between 25Mhz and 28Mhz act? As well as horizontally? And how would it be local vs dx for this and the above you posted?
  14. Heavy Metal

    Really any difference at height?

    vertically at these heights So far looks like 55' is pretty ideal Horizontally at these heights So far looks like higher the better.

    Telescopic masts

    im thinking of adding some extra pole onto my telescopic mast bring it from 43' to 65'. I was going to add fiberglass 1" into the 1.25" top of the telescopic mast and a foot down into it and add 24' to bring me to @65' at base( feed point ) of my antenna. And add 2 or 3 guide lines one at the...

    Kinda, going to use some 10ga I have laying around think I can manage 88' each side max. but cannot be in a straight line has to do have to do 90 degree L shape for both horizontal and inverted V. Just was wondering if anyone ever did this and how it was and what effect it had on direction of...

    Inverted V or Horizontal?

    Give me some time and I will basically think of two legs right and left right one is horizontal north to south the other side( leg ) is now east to west but going down in a 45 degree angle, another antenna is same as above but both legs are inverted but one is north and south the other east to...
