- How long would you want to expect to be in a home to justify the expense of a tower install versus other antennas? I have a small backyard (70' x 100' roughly) with three trees in/around it that are

- Art, 2-5 years is a long time. You are an accomplished and enthusiastic ham. You need a tower and a yagi. I hope you have no problem with covenants or local restrictions. If I were you, I would put u

- Art, would I put up tower with a two to five year moving timeframe? Yes, in a heartbeat. Two to five years is a long time when you are getting older and you can have a lot of fun in that time. The co

- <snip>> Advice is warmly welcomed and accepted. This is not going to be a contest station--ever--but a relaxing improvement over my mobile set up (where I worked 3B7C on 40, barefoot...). For contest

- Thanks, all. One piece of this just got easier. My dad sent an email tonight that he has an idea to do this, perhaps in a more simple way than I had envisioned, bringing at least his xcvr upstairs. I

- Art, KC2G, wrote that his patient persistence paid off with his dad. Congrats, Art !!! You might want to look into the Trylon self-supporting towers. Several of the guys in the NCCC have been pleased

- Art: I, too, would heartily recommend a Trylon for your installatoin. I've had one for six years now and would buy a second one if I had to. I would, however, use the loading tool on their web page h

- Hi Art First of all,, forget the vertical and I don't care what brand of vertical it is. If it were me, I'd pay the 2500 bucks and go with a free standing tower. In the end, that would be another rea

- Thanks all for the advice. The plan has become simplified. I'm selling the AL-1500 and two extra medical pull tubes to raise cash for a tower--or I'll trade for the tower (which is why this is not en
