I use 5 section strumech telescopic towers, plus additional 20 ft tubular
sections. I can go to about 120 ft vertical with this arrangement. I also
have some high trees around the perimiter of my field, which is out in the
countryside. There are 3 towers in the field. This qth is ideal for LF work
See the G3YXM gallery for a photo of one similar tower at my GI3KEV QTH.
