Well, after about four years of having a license I'm finally moved out of my townhouse and into a detached home with a 1/4 acre lot and no HOA to look over my shoulder.  Everthing finally seems right for putting up a small tower and beam (as opposed to my old attic loop) to make DX contacts a bit easier.  Only one thing stands in my way now, the wife.
What might make my effort a little easier is if I can show my wife that the tower and beam won't dominate the entire back garden and surrounding neighborhood.  If anyone has a photo of a 30'  free standing tower next to a house with a small, 3-element beam on top I might have a chance of reaching a compromise.  I'm thinking of putting in a Universal Towers "12-30" or "21-30" with some brand (possiblly Hy-Gain) of three element beam.  Still, any photo of a 30' tower will probably make (or break) my case.
Any chance that someone has this configuration and can share a photo?
Thanks.
