Depends on what you want to do on 20, Bill. "Normal" 20M ops can get away
with 50-70 ft.; DXers usually demand 70 ft. minimum. Now, here's the
kicker: it's not 70 ft. above the earth; it's 70 ft. above *ground
reflection*. Where's your water table? How about local rooftops, and other
ground clutter? Aw, heck, just put it up 100 ft., and you won't have to
worry about it!!

How high does a 20 meter yaga need to be. will 50 feet be enough or do I
need 70?

Any recomendations on a foldover tower that I will not have to climb so I
can service tha antenna and rotor?
