[Antennas] Question: using a ladder as a tower

[Alex Eban]

N6PL has done it and me too.

You can even add radials to the base and feed the tower, loaded with the
beam with a gamma match fed short vertical with nice results.

Have a look at  http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/books/0043.html

It includes every thing you need to know.

I'll have a look in my files: if I have it, I'll scan it and mail it to you.

Just make sure that you put some kind of ANTI-climbing device on it so that 

you don't get some radical climbers.
