Darrell, IMO. Yes guys have put up 120 ft of R25. With 3 element hi gain 40
, 24 ft from molly mast and 5 element 10. Did it stay up yes. But. PITA to
work on and climbing the mast up 12 ft. Is true pucker . And you have 4 levels
of guys to contend with. Do R 55. You can have 2 level guys and mor freedom
of side mounting antennas. And there a dream to work on
