This gives me a couple more ideas . . . crazy maybe, but cheap and it just
might work.

You could replace the phone pole with three sections of Rohn 25, also back
guyed.  When the 60 foot tower is up, back guy it and raise a 90 footer . .
. just don't load it too heavily on the top.  Use two winches on the 90
footer.  One at 30 feet and one at 60 feet.  Make sure you don't kill
yourself . . .
