My reasoning for moving it away from the house was to allow me room to raise and lower antennas. The main HF yagi is an Explorer 14 from Hygain with the 40m add on kit, This makes the driver element 42 feet long so I wanted the tower at LEAST 25 0r 30 feet from the house. Due to the layout of the yard and an outbuilding I decided to place it where it is as it seemed out of the way yet not too far away.It is also about 27 feet from my shop/barn so it will not matter which way the antenna is swung it will come down/up without the elements hitting anything.
