Today I uploaded a YouTube video to my channel showing how I built and raised 
one of my 75’ 160m verticals.
I have three of these used in my 12 direction parasitic array.

I show how I construct the element out of 4” irrigation tubing by splicing two 
lengths together, how I engineered the guy attachment points, and how I raised 
the element.

Similar methods could be used to build 80m elements.
