If anyone is still following this thread I offer up this idea:

I have been thinking about taking the RV out to the mountains and working FD solo just running off my battery banks on the fifth wheel. Guess I'd better figure out how long I can operate on my bank of 4 6volt batteries. Also need figure out what category I should go under too. Perfect time to plan June will be here before we know it.

Can't get to it, anyone else having the same problem?

When AA4PB says to put a pull string I'm sure he meant a pull rope! I work in the IT/Networking world and there is nothing more frustrating that to have on of those thin blue/white pull strings bust on you. Use a good rope, I use the yellow rope 3/8 or 1/4 inch type. And yes go with the 4" pipe it's always cheaper to spend a few bucks more now than later. Don't use sharp turns like LB's stick with sweeps and do glue your pipe sections with the right glue.

Good luck and I'm right behind you, will be putting up a 5 band Hex Beam on a 40ft crankup tube tower feed mostly with 1/2 Heliax.
