<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I may try that, but even the 1.25" sagged under
heavy snow, so I'll probably opt for a piece in the trusted size from "Online
Metals" if I don't find a spare piece from someone 'round here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'll have to make a Lowe's/Depot visit anyway
though, as I need to see how small in diameter they go with the 3' (or is it
4'?) stainless threaded rods. I'm thinking even the smallest will do,
as they will just be hanging vertically.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Going to whip up a 2 element 10/11 meter
horizontal beam that will fit in the spot under the 6 meter
horizontal....I figure I can do it with roughly 12' elements using 3'
threaded rods hanging from all ends to make up the length. Since
the bulk of the radiation is from the center of the dipoles, the short
vertical sections shouldn't reduce efficiency too much....and this willl
allow me to rotate the thing within my radius
limits.</FONT> </DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>450
