Just got back with I think was a good find.... 40 foot Rohn for a $100..... Might see about getting the 2 lower sections to get another 16 foot, But I think this may do me for now for my 5 element tri-bander.. Need to find rotor and controls now.......

. . . Or just add a strong section of mast 10 ft above the tower, since the rotor will be mounted in the tower anyway. That should be sufficient for any tri-bander (10m-15m-20m) beam @ 50 ft and still have a fine low angle of radiation.

IMO, since it is already more than a wavelength over the ground surface, it is alredy more than enough for a low angle of radiation for 11/10m . . .

Yes very close to Delhi DMX towers. I got a 40' thats the same up now and a 48' sitting in the barn for future use. Around my next of the woods they are free or very cheap if you take them down.
