[TowerTalk] antenna height vs hassle

[KI9A at aol.com]

Well, I'm sitting here thinking about what I going to do with this 40' HBX 
tower..

Here's the deal:

The tower was free & in good shape. I live on a small lot, can't really have 
a guyed tower. I now have a roof tower with my 2 meter yagi at about 27', the 
A3 tribander at 30' & a 6 meter yagi at 33'.

In order to put this 40' tower up, I would have to hire out the hole 
(5'x5'x5'), then hand carry all of the concrete approx  120-150' across the grass, on 
an uneven area (ugh).  No way to get the truck any closer. 

Bottom line is this...is the cost & hassle of this worth the potential gain? 
If the tower was 60-80', I'd say of course, but, going from 30' to 45', I 
dunno if there would be much improvement to be worth it. I'm beginning to think 
not.

What do you guys think??

Oh yeah, did I mention my xyl, who NEVER gives me any hassle about operating, 
or wires hanging fromt he tree's or the tower on roof, wants a pool in back 
about the only place I can  put the tower???
