Mine are at 40 and 76 ft. Tower is 75 ft, TH7 just above top, and 
402CD 9 ft above that. With guys wires, could have gone 35 to 45 
feet. Picked 40 for no good reason other than others thought it was 
a good height.

Real, not modelled.

(want to)?
Use DX Engineering Univ Phase box, with U/L/Both switch. 95% of time 
both in, so if trying to conserve $$, I'd skip the relays and just 
use the transformer.
