[TowerTalk] Optimium Tower Height

[Chet]

I got that same advice from the same person,  I only wish that I had
received it 10 years earlier
Than I did.

This is also the advice I was given 15 years ago by a very well-known 
and technically accomplished local multi-multi owner - he said if you 
only plan one tower, make it 100 feet.  I altered my plans accordingly, 
and am very glad I did it.
