Would like your input, have a new SteppIR 3-elem on the way, going to 
install a new tower, selection looks like either a U.S. Tower MA-550 
telescoping 55ft (Rated for 9sq' at 70mph) with the tilt-over kit or a 
Heights Tower 48' telescoping (rated 12sq' at 80mph) with also the 
tilt-over kit. Home in a 70mph rated area.

I am concerned about the swaying on the MA-550 as compared to the 
typical triangle style Heights tower.  Any comments will be appreciated.

Will be placing an order 12-1-07, can't get the antenna up until 
sometime in March. (long story - HI)
