One advantage to crank up towers is that they can be motorized and automated.
Of course, I can't find it right now, but I remember reading about one ham who
was also a home automation buff. He built a new house and used HomeSeer (HA
software) to automatically lower his tower if the winds reached a certain
speed. It was very cool and easily implementable.
