Hi Brian,

You will most probably be better off with the push pole.  The tower is heavy 
and like the pole, will need to be guyed. Poles are easier to put together. 
Towers are an attractive nuisance if there are kids around the site. Towers are 
also more difficult to transport than poles.  I have had very good luck with 
the surplus push together aluminum poles which may be had in 5 or 10 foot 
sections and guy rings are easily inserted at any height required. These poles will 
also support lightweight beams with TV type rotators or just use the 
"armstrong" rotation method.

Hope to catch you on the air.

73,
