[TowerTalk] Help Needed

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

How about a HEX beam for the high bands and I would think dipoles would 
work really well from that height.  The hex beam could be rotated with a 
small rotor and is pretty light.  The vertical will be pretty noisy if 
you are in a congested area/city.
