Jacob,
Before you go to all of that trouble, think the situation through completely, 
based on the areas through which you are planning to rove.  Ask yourself the 
following question:  Will another 20' make any noticable difference?

Sometimes "yes" but most of the time "no".  Unlike mid-western operators, East 
coast rovers often find themselves on hilltops.  Unless those hilltops are 
thick with trees and tall bushes, that 20 feet will be insignificant.

Just something to consider as you ponder your strategy.
