it's open at the top - no resister - I should have left a 1/4 wave whip at the top
The sections have duct tape over the joints to hold them together better than vinyl tape.
the whole thing is in a 22mm PVC overflow pipe held in place top and bottom with a plug of hot melt glue - like this the whole thing stirred around a lot in the wind - so I took it to the local plumbers merchant and found a second PVC tube that would tight-fit slide over the whole thing to stiffen it up.
For people just trying it - make up the coco antenna, then tape it to a bamboo cane to hold it straight - you can put it into sealed tube later if it works for you.
