Some stations can be be big guns without having at least 5 towers.   I =
remember W3CRA was reported so loud in Tibet that he was 2 S points =
higher than any other USA stations on 20.  He operated from a site that =
at one time housed a commercial SW BC station.  He used a 3 el =
mono-bander.

Stations near the coast also report good luck.  Paul N4PN has a station =
on an island in the Gulf off Florida.  He finds he is louder with a =
tri-bander and small 40 meter beam than at his previous big gun station =
(N4PN/W4YWX) near Atlanta.  W4AMJ is first to Africa from the USA on 15. =
 Frank has a tri-bander at 60' overlooking the water at Englewood, =
Florida. =20

So pick the location first then spend the money....
