a coupla years ago W1CW made an awesome looking vertical out of a cage of
wires which were around rings of PVC pipe.....he took a length of PVC pipe
and cut it on the saw into a ton of short pieces....mebbe 1/2" or so long
"pipes" - then attached the wires to one of these spacing them every coupla
feet.......it looks awesome....as to whether it really adds
bandwidth...dunno...but gawd it looks really hammy!
