I was recently given four tower sections of Rohn HBX - - - the four  top 
sections, and would like to use them to build a full-size 80-meter  vertical.  
  Those four sections would make up the lower 32 feet  of the vertical, and 
I have more than enough aluminum tubing to make up a mast  for the top 
section of about 35 feet or so.
 
My question, is that I'd like to insulate the three base legs from ground,  
and I really can't spend much to do so.
I would really appreciate any and all suggesstions on how I might be able  
to reliably insulate the three legs, while providing a sound structure.
My plan is to solidly attach the tower sections to reinforced areas on a  
side of the house at about 15 and 24 feet, so that the tower sections can be  
safely climbed.
 
Thanks for any help and consideration,
Susan, AA9MO
