Buck,

Gee It might not be tall enough.

You would have to add another 20 feet for a perfect ground wave on 11 meters.

I mean you would want it to be correct wouldn't you?

Yea your right Lon....I think I will pass this one up because its 20' too short!!!
Bruce...I might be able to see you from the top of that thing....I have been to the top of one taller than that before....When I was in high school, me and a buddy decided it would be fun(heck of a workout too) to climb the county communications tower just outside of town.....You could see a long way.....Hardest part was coming down. wish I would have had a parachute!

You could get your mustiple of lambdas in the guy wires.

You sure you don't want to volunteer to service the lighting on that for the person that buys it?

Cow tipping LOL havnt done that in years! Im going to go this weekend and do it.
The biggest one I climbed was a power line tower one of those 4 legged ones man was it tall when you got level with the power lines you could feel the humm from them. Scary coming down though.
