I have a chance to pick up a nice 56' Aluminum self supporting tower at a 
very reasonable price. That's self supporting without a big load.
I'm thinking of installing it as a grounded/shunt fed vertical on both 75 
and 40.  It will be just a little short on 75  and a bit short for a half 
wave on 40. I think it's close enough to both that it should work well with 
a good ground system.

Any thoughts.
