I will likely obtain this then from Texas Towers and therefore
the tubing lengths will be limited to 6 ft each. They do offer nesting
sizes so the real question is what diameter to utilize for the lower
most 6 ft segment (dipole being some 34 ft or so).

Texas Towers has a computer program that will give you the information.
Guyed elements are a lot more economical than non-guyed elements.

Yes, I have heard of the existence of such a program - unfortunately,
the folks at Texas Towers have not. I emailed them approx 1 month ago
without joy. Was this program free for the using? If so, can anyone
forward it to me (or perhaps run a few numbers for me)?? Thanks again
all for the excellent suggestions/links etc.
