Experimental Vertical Takes Her First Storm
The experimental vertical is experiencing her first gale-force winds.
Experimental Vertical in Her First Storm
Riding beautifully likely due to double-walled center tubing.
***
She is riding 35 Knot sustained winds beautifully due to doubling-up her center section with two lengths of aluminum tubing, one inserted inside the other. From now on I will always double-up the tubing in vertical antennas at seaside locations. The reference vertical is holding her own, as well. But is whipping around more, which is her nature, since she is uniformly-tapered.

Tide Chart, Matunuck, R.I.
How deep are the experimental vertical radials in the saltwater right now?
At high tide the experimental vertical's radial system is 3 to 8 inches under saltwater. At low tide its raidals are stretched across the marsh grass.
