Bill,

Gosh Bill, I was going to hold the center of my 40 meter inverted vee up with 
a Rohn 40 ft push-up mast.  I thought going to a guyed Heights aluminum tower 
would be an improvement!    Well, OK, I'll start getting quotes for Rohn SSV.

Anyway, kidding aside, I regret using the phrase "on the cheap" in my 
posting.  Some of you interpreted that as meaning my intention was to put up an 
unsafe installation.  No way.  But I am trying to gather the necessary materials 
for a small tower to support wire antennas without pouring several yards of 
concrete, buying a heavy duty tower and having it professionally installed, etc.  
I don't want a 40 mtr inverted vee enough to spend thousands of bux making it 
happen.
