Neighborhood covenant was recently ammended to allow vertical antennas and

me my tribander was already grandfathered in, I lived here before it was a
neighborhood.. I want to make the best of a Rhon 25 tower I have stored
away. My tower is 50ft tall and could be extented even taller using vertical
elements that did not support a load other than themselves. I was thinking
of tuning the tower into a Giant copper Cactus antenna for 20M thru UHF by
fastening 1/4 wl stubs on the side of the tower. Any reason why this would
not work.


Hi Jimmie,

the only problem i can forsee is that copper and Glavinized steep will
setup electrolisis which will corrode the connection. so you'll have to
treat for that problem.. other than that should work ok.
