Oh, I didn't realize that you were local.

*Please do not purchase equipment before getting more information on 
what might work specific to your location.*
AREDN neworking is not like buying a HT to reach a local 100 watt 
repeater on a +200' tower.

Is your residence temporary, a rental, a lease, or restricted by an HOA?
What is the latitude and longitude of your tower in decimal degrees?
This area of Ohio has many valleys carved by the encroachment and 
retreat of glaciers and
covered with mature trees easily topping out at 70' above ground level.
You may or may not be in a 100' deep valley, but most assuredly, will 
have trees that absorb EHF and SHF energy.
There are several Beavercreek hams active in AREDN networking.
There is 1 ARDEN active Beavercreek ham that has a device higher than 
40' above ground level.

3s, Chuck
