Hi,

I'm looking to relocate out of Connecticut & need to find a location 
that is as RFI quiet as is realistic. I currently use a HI-Z 
Triangular for my Rx and love the advantage of steering in Rx. I 
would like to have not only the benefit of Rx but Tx with steering as 
well. I'm not moving in the immediate future but I need to know some 
thing before I start looking for the new digs and what I'll need to 
accomplish my antenna farm goal is one of them. 

What size Tx towers are a good compromise on 160 & I'd like to use it 
on 80 & 40 as well, I can't see how I could afford to put up full 
size 160 towers. I'm 65 and just can't put up towers by myself like I 
have in the past. Well, maybe I could but it wouldn't be as fun as it 
used to be.

Also, what controller should I look into for this? I need to factor 
in the land needed and the expense of having the towers and equipment 
installed. I've never looked into this before and am just starting my 
search.

Any thought or links to topics that might help will be appreciated.

73 & Happy New Year!
