Hi Guys,
Hoping you'll have some ideas on how I can home brew an "Insulated Fold over Base"

The top 35' of the Vertical will be telescoping aluminum tubing, the c
FWIW, it is fairly easy to make a guyed 80 meter vertical
out of 3 inch aluminum irrigation pipe, which doesn't
cost much. OTOH, aluminum lattice towers are quite
expensive, even used. I would never waste my aluminum
tower sections on a guyed vertical.
There are innumerable simple schemes to make an insulated pivot

from ground.
YMMV
