How about a HEX beam for the high bands and I would think dipoles would
work really well from that height. The hex beam could be rotated with a
small rotor and is pretty light. The vertical will be pretty noisy if
you are in a congested area/city.

Although I've been on the air since 1957 I've seldom used a vertical
antenna but now seems to be the time. We spend several months
annually here in
Colombia where I am HK4T. Our apartment is located on the top floor
of a 6 story building and I have a 30' mast on the roof above where I
installed a
Carolina Windom some years ago which doesn't work well at this
location. I would like to install a multi band vertical which would
be elevated at the
top of that mast or lower if better. Looking for suggestions on
choice of antenna, I know that there are several available. And, when
the antenna is
ready to be installed should it be put at the top of the mast or lower
and how many radials per band.....I guess 2 at a minimum but would
more really
help that much. The top of the mast is about 80' above ground level
if that matters. Pretty basic stuff to many but new to me. Thanks.
