Suggest to take a look at aluminum irrigation pipe.  3" or 4" is reasonable
cost, and can produce nice bandwidth.   Joining the sections together may
take some ingenuity however you should be able to get lots of good ideas
online from other's installations.

Good luck.

Hi All,

I am looking for advice on material to use for an 80m 4 square. Looking for
the cheapest way to build an 80m vertical.  I have looked at towers,used
utility poles etc. (Utility poles look like the best option so far.) Curious
what you guys use. I know that it may not be cheap, but I would like to do
the verticals as cheaply as possible and looking for your input. I do not
have 70' trees to hang a wire from (hihi) as I know this would be SUPER
cheap. ;-) Like I said, I do not expect it to be free, but $1,800 for an 80m
vertical from "Zero-five" antennas is crazy, and really dont want to spend
$3,000++ on a 4 square! Looking at options! lol. I know it's alot of
aluminum,etc. 


73,
Dan N9WX
