Or go with a 2 ele SteppIR. You can get it with a rotatable 40/30 option
that will still work ok at that height plus give you 20-6 including 17,12.
There is probably a fairly long lead time.

Hi John
Go for the 2 element jobbie. I have a 2 element monobander for 20 and it is
only about 25-30 feet high and works pretty good! I have an all band center
fed antenna here and the 2 el always outperforms it. Besides, you can point
it where you want it. 73 Tom W7WHY
