I'm looking for a little help in the physical design of a 20m vertical
dipole. Specifically, I need advice on Al tubing sizes and preferred
methods of connecting segments (hoseclamp ?, nut/bolt ?). Who's built
something like this ??

The ARRL Antenna Book has done all the work for us. I put
mine together with aluminum pop-rivets. Got the telescoping
aluminum 6 ft. pieces from Texas Towers who has a wind-
loading PC program to evaluate stress on the elements.
