Hi John and thanks for those remarks....

Well no I did not expect so many "petty hams" but it is just human nature
and the heart of man I suppose to be that way for some folks. Tropical
storm Cindy is coming our way now and I'll see how the tower holds up.

I can sure tell everyone and anyone that the difference from 30 ft to
90-95ft is really astonishing. I doubt this smile will leave my face for
some time. 73 / DX

Bet when you started out, you would never have thought so many petty hams
existed.

All you need to do is beef up that setup a bit and smile at all the losers
here. Jealous "old women hams" of a envious and vindictive nature.

Just laugh a bit when they sit out there eating the signal off the 90 foot
beast.

Perhaps you can, once in a awhile, be kind and offer to, "Let them sit on
it!" grin

75 ft guyed tower with 21 foot mast. 2M M2 HO LOOP antenna at 95 ft. M2
2M9SSB beam antenna at 90 ft.
The difference from antennas at around 30 ft to the same antennas at
90-95 ft is astonishing. Anyone considering raising their antennas
should "just do it"
