Hi.

For various reasons, I'm interested in hearing what others have done for towers when they know (or have reason to believe) they will only be at a particular QTH for a short period of time. Not as a field day project, but rather a semi-permanent skyhook to use while finding the right spot for the 30 sections of Rohn 65 ;=) 

Here's the thing: we're still undecided how long we plan to be at this location; don't fancy going the whole nine yards and then leaving a ton of concrete behind and it would be nice to get something up quickly if I can.  Just looking to get a small tribander up above the rooftops, 30-40 feet. House peak is (+-) 25 feet.

Roof tower does not pass code here (that's XYL code, BTW) and a house bracket is a possible last resort. 

I know some have the budget to say screw it and put up a pair of 150s anyway, but that's not me. If anyone has any budget-friendly ideas, I'm listening...

73, kelly
