[Antennas] Need a little help

[Ron W7MRR]

 Hi Mike:

   By going to 90 feet the only thing that would change would be your take-off angle which could make a discernable difference. However, before you send alot of money on extra tower, you should consider a chrome molly or mast above the tower when figuring vertical height.  This could be cheaper than adding a comparable amount of tower.

   Good luck and good DXing.
