I recently moved to an new QTH. My yard is much smaller than my previous yard (2.5 acres versus about .3 acres). I've currently got an all-band dipole up but I've been thinking about a small tower. I've had towers at previous QTH's, but I'm looking for something smaller and easier to work with.

The city I live in restricts amateur towers to a maximum of 40 feet (somewhere around 30 feet would be good). Ideally, I'm looking for a setup that lets me work on antennas from the ground. I'm looking at installing a small tri-band beam (perhaps something like a Cushcraft A3S), rotor, a vhf/uhf vertical, and an inverted V wire antenna. It would have to be self-supporting (there's no room for guy wires). Something used is probably more inline with my budget.

Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, dos, don'ts...

Thanks,

Kelley w0rk
