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.


Sounds like a great place for a Bobtail.  Just need a good radial field, but
Bobtails work great.
