Good Morning:\
To improve my 160 vertical I want to change its configuration from an
inverted L to a Capacity Hat Vertical. Vertical will be 57 Feet high
with Capacity Hat wires. I am using an 18 Meter Spider pole. I plan on
running 1.5 KW to it. Looking at spider pole website it says 18 Gage
wire for the Vertical part and 26 Gage wire for the capacity Hat. But
it says nothing about the power handling capacity of these wires, (both
vertical and horizontal). I know the spider pole is a bit flimsy at the
55 foot level so a smaller wire is needed but I am sure someone on this
reflector has the answers I need.
