I'd just go with the HDBX48 and be done with it. The cost of ANOTHER
tower in order to go from 48' to 60' may not be worth the additional cost -
it's only 12 feet higher.
I would recommend taking the money from the sale of the 25G tower and
buying a better HF beam like the C3. It'll run circles around your Mosley and
is lighter and smaller than the Mosley so you'll be doing your tower a favor
as well as improving your on-the-air performance. Just a suggestion.
