In some cases closer may be better.
Here in Florida I want my tower fairly close to the house so that I may
benefit from the theoretical "umbrella effect" which the taller and
more "attractive" structure may provide to the home.
I have set the tower off the corner of the house about 20+ feet and
like it not being too far away for convenience of cabling.
Just got the 5x5x5 base poured for the Rohn 45 tiltover setup,
pictures here: http://bibleseven.com then click on the steel house
at the bottom then scroll down ... there are so many pictures
there now I suppose I should break it up into multiple pages.
Hmmmm.
