[HCARC] Sticker SHOCK

[Gary J - N5BAA]

10' of 1 1/2" grey electrical conduit at Home Depot is $5.67 minus 10% for 
being a Vet which is 57 cents per foot more or less and has the bell end so 
no connector is needed.  I guess I need to check the price of 2 inch grey 
conduit too.  Conduit can cost as much as the tower.  I shudder to think of 
the price of concrete for the base which is over $100 per cubic yard 
delivered.

Have you compared prices for doing multiple 1" pipe or 2" pipe?
