I have a 70ft tower. HFTA said that another beam at 40ft would really help with some angles to EU etc.  I am in a depression.  It was not my choice for radio but here we are :).

I agree depending on location.  Having a 2nd antenna that can be sprayed even at 40ft for domestic is a nice option!

Depends on your terrain but 45’ is pretty low.  My lowest of 3 is at 36’ and it’s not very useful 
except maybe on 10.  I usually park it South to cover that direction and don’t use as a stack.  My top 2 are 
at 112 and 72.  They play well together or apart but the one at 72 seems the most useful all-around.

BTDT. 30 ft best compromise spacing for 20-15-10.  Wider spacing may result in 
too many high angle lobes on 10. Will lower be fixed or rotable?

PS - I wound up at 69 and 97 feet because of guying considerations on my Rohn 
25 tower

Thinking about stacking a couple of tribanders. Top at 80ish feet and the
lower one at 40-45 feet.
Thoughts or comments?
