[Lowfer] Eric's LF Vert

Eric, others, Hi,

Catching up on the weekend mail and note the latest antenna raising
already happened. Boy, that's a gem a of an xyl you have, Eric. Just
amazing what you two have erected during the night hours. Though last
night here In N. IL, the full moon was exceptionally bright, but raising
a mast? Well, not for me.

Looked at the Web site and I see 4 radials with skirt wire. This image
prompts some questions I hope you can answer.

1. You stated there were 8 radials, are there 8 or 4 equal radials?

2. What lead you to limit the height to 30 feet and not higher, say, 40
feet?

3. The pole seems to have close couplings, is it made up of random
lengths? (Locally, I see available 3" pipe in 20 feet lengths.)

4. What type of guy line is being used? And are there 4 guys? 

5. What is used to hold the radials, how are they mounted? How is that
mount then affixed to the mast?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Peter
