[600MRG] Free standing verticals

[Neil Klagge]

Hi Ben. My vertical is along side of the house (which is ok if you dont run to much power and trip smoke detectors)..it is attached at the peak on one side at the 17’ level.  You could use telescoping pipe and get it to stand another 10’ or more without guying i think.

Good luck. 73

My neighbor is taking down my antenna tree ... possibly this week :(.

Its actually the right thing - the tree is very unbalanced and needs to go. But it means my undersized antenna will be even smaller (gone) soon...

Seems like I may need to try to get something in the air that doesn't require a tree or permanent support structure. I can probably fashion some kind of vertical pole out of cheap materials, but imagine it will require a lot of guys to remain vertical - which I'd kind of like to avoid since I don't have a lot of room for guys.

Any suggestions from this group?
