I intended to imply but failed to specify, 2 el max on 40.

Of course ... 22 meters is a bit over 70 feet which seems 
like a reasonable number as a dividing line between the 
big guns with stacked yagis and allowing for a bit of mast 
to support a 2el40 over tribander type installation. 

In any case, the exact limits should be a matter for discussion. 
Does anyone know what the tower/yagi height has been in the  
various WRTCs? 

73,
