Actually a tribander at 150' high has nulls at useful radiation angles and
you may not always get out like gang busters.  I would consider stacking
tribanders or putting the single one lower on the tower and leaving the
40m beam at the top.

>  Hello - I am intending on putting up a tower at my new  home in Bandon,
Or. I
have 40 acres and it is surrounded with 70 foot high  timber. When I saw the
layout and I thought I would put up a 150ft tower. I  will not be doing this
often, so I want to put it up once and have it stand.



Hiya, Chris  --

    You should get out like gangbusters since  you're close to saltwater.

    First, you should read my UP THE TOWER book -  The Complete Guide To
Tower Construction - available from many ham dealers  and will answer just
about all of your questions including some you haven't  thought of yet.
