Save the money and hassle, just go up 55 feet...That's my vote...

  This is a request for comments from HWA membership.

  We need to decide if we are putting our 88' tower up all the way or =
just
  raising it to three sections high, about 55 to 60 feet, as the =
previous
  owner did.  Going up to 88' will cost us a lot of extra guy wire and, =
from
  what I can tell from my various readings about antennas, won't give us =
any
  better performance.  Does anyone have any experiences with the heights =
of
  antenna towers for beam antennas?  Does anyone have any comments, =
questions
  or suggestions??  I am strongly inclined to go with three sections, =
around
  55 to 60 ft up.
