[TowerTalk] Towers for large quads

This antenna is not huge. I am sure that AN Wireless, Rohn SSV and
possibly Trylon have freestanding towers of adequate size.  The antenna
may be a little too high on 10m and stacking certainly would be nice but
that was not your question.

Hi Everyone,
I am planning on putting up a Cubex Mantis II 4 ele on 20 through 10 and 2
elements on 40m. This is a large antenna...23 sq foot. I am planning on
putting
it at about 100' on possibly Rohn 55G...My question is, does anyone know of a
free-standing tower that would hold that much square footage at 80- 100'
other
than maybe a super commercial grade tower? I dont figure there is, and I
figure
rohn  55 Guyed should have no issues, but just asking if anyone has
experience
with this. Anyone have this particular antenna? How does it play?  Looks like
it should be a real great antenna...PS I already know what a large
under-taking
this is, and all the potential pit-falls of quads.


Thanks,
Dan N9WX
