Hi all,
I recently obtained a Cushcraft X7 beam. I need to purchase a crank up
tower for the beam and possibly a small WARC beam stacked on top at a later
date. The site for the tower is among multiple 50-70 foot pine trees. I
have two questions for the more experienced of those on the reflector.
One-Is there a distinct advantage between a 55 ft vs 72 foot tower? Two-
Would the TX series (either -55 or-72) be adaquate or would the extra
expence of the HDX series be worth it?
Thanks and 73,
Ken N4KF
