So will the -80 pipe be not so rubbery??? How about taking a video of the
install and load it on your server for us all to ponder??? I would have
liked to see the current vertical going up. LOL!!!

I've mentioned this before, but it's happening now.  Over the next four
(planned minimum) to six (planned maximum) weeks I'm building a new
vertical:

                OPERATING               PLANNED
Height:         28'                     42'
Tophat:         4 x 4' radials w/skirt  5 x 8' radials w/skirt
Mast:           Sched 40 PVC            Sched 80 PVC
Element:        #12 str THHN            Same
Guys:           3 polyester             6, undetermined fiber

One hour outage expected on the day I replace the operating antenna with
the new one.
