I'm looking to purchase a Universal 16-50 tower, that has the following
10 foot sections:

26St-26Tr-22Tr-18Tr-14Tp

(for various reasons I won't get into here, I'm limited to a 26" base)

Is it practical to exand that tower in the future to 70 feet with another
26 inch straight and another 22 inch straight section, to make it:

26St-26St-26Tr-22St-22Tr-18Tr-14Tp

Or is this set up not sound engineering, or will the capacity of the tower
be reduced so significantly that it wouldn't be practical? My plan is to 
put an 8 sq foot log periodic on top of it.

Thanks to all.
