[TowerTalk] Tower For Dish

[jmltinc at aol.com]

Hello to all,
 
I am considering using a 10' dish for 1296. I would like to see it up 70'.
 
Has anyone any experience with such a project? In particular, what are the minimum requirements as to the tower required?
 
I just visited a web page where W7XU uses (used?) 140' Rohn 55 with 3 dishes and several antennas (seems like a lot of aluminum). See http://www.qth.com/ka9fox/elev-guy.txt
 
Your thoughts are appreciated.
 
John, N9RF
