Hello group, our local ham club is planning a FD this year and I'm needing 
some advice.

We will be using 2 wire dipole antennas for our HF work and also want to put 
up a 3 element 6m beam and a 12 element 2m beam both for SSB.

The question I have is it easier to put up the beam antennas on a 40ft push 
pole OR use abt 30ft. of Rohn 25 tower with a mast in the top.

To me the tower would be easier by attaching ropes and uprighting it, but 
want some opinions.
In the past years I have went always went to a FD site and operated but this 
year our local club wants to do a FD.

So needing whatever info or suggestions the list might have.

73,
Brian
