Hey Mathew,
This is how we set up our DB-224 in Ocean City NJ and it works real well.
But come down 26" from the top of the pipe and not the point on the end cap.
If you do it will through you off all the way down. No the last dipole will
NOT hang off the end of the support pipe unless the support pipe is the
wrong one.
Sounds like you will have fun when the weather breaks.
