Hi, Gents:

I am getting set to put up a 100' aluminum crank-up tower.  On the top,
at 100' I plan to put a Force 12 Magnum 620/340.  Up from that, about 8
feet -- will go a Force 12 4BA.  I chose these antennas because of the
decreased wind loading, as I am (still) a little nervous about having
those up at the tippy top swayin' in the breeze with no guy
wires....this is my first attempt with a crank-up tower.

Comments?

73 and best regards,

Mitch Alexander  KG9DB
