Would anyone know if it would be worth the investment of time and money to
add another 12 ft to my existing tower. It is presently at 48 feet and I was
thinking of bringing it up to 60 feet.

That's good for about 1 dB on 10, 15, and 20, probably not worth the effort. There's a lot to be said for 48' tower height. I've had a lot of luck with it.




>this would give me a half wave length on 20 meters from the
ground.

1/2 wave on 20 is 35 feet, so you are already there.
