silo 
and a 60 foot tower in a line to Europe.If I take a rope  and go from the 
silo to the tower and hang an inverted vee and 35 feet  back cut another one 
5% longer would that work.I have an inverted vee up  there now and it works 
OK but.....I know its really not high enough but is  it worth the trouble?It 
would be just for this winter as next summer I  hope to put a insulated tower 
for 80/160.I have plenty of room between the  silo and tower,could maybe even 
do 3 or 4 elements.
 
    My advice?  Give it a try and see what  happens. Antennas are fun to 
experiment with. If you don't like it - try  another one.
 
    This also goes along with an LXC Directive to "Go  with what you've got!".
