The Port recently installed some stuff that required 8" dia. PVC. There was about a 20' piece left over. I'm going to inquire, before it ends up at the recycle center 8 mi. out of town.

The goal would be to install a TX system inside it, with wire coil half-way up wound on the outside and cage monopole the last 10', all mounted with stabilizing cables on my boat.
Dear Ken Norris:
Go for that chunk of PVC and carry forward with your antenna project.
From here on land the idea of operating from a boat anchored in the water is a very fascinating thing. Putting part 15 radio on top of that is fantastic and I am totally interested in following the story of "what happens next."
What a unique position you are in to test novel and unusual antenna/ground experiments.
Anyone have an idea what grade of copper mesh I should use for a cage monopole? ... cover for the PVC pipe.
EDITED - Perhaps I should be a little clearer, I mean, as hardware cloth, what mesh count, how heavy?
