[TowerTalk] Crank-up towers

[kfath@bellsouth.net]

I am sure this has been discussed frequently in the past, but I have been off the reflector for about a year. I am in the process of putting up a tower. I am limited to self supporting or crank up by space and xyl restrictions (no #^@% guy wires). My hamming time comes in spurts and therefore am leaning towards crank up so that I can put tower up high during my active periods and down otherwise. I plan to use a tribander for 20-15-10 and probably a WARC beam above it. I am not extremely knowledgeable regarding benefit of 89ft over 72ft. ANy experience or recommendations. If there is a thread somewhere that I can be pointed to rather than getting responses here, please point me to it. Thanks for your help.
