Default Tower height question (moved thread from tower pro NG)

The most direct answer is to put up as tall a tower as you can...
Horizontal antennas for for 40-10, and shunt feed the tower on 80 and

Of course you have to remember that as you get older those things can
be a bear to climb. :-)) and then stay up there for the whole
afternoon. OTOH I'd like to have at least a couple elements on 40.
I'd give up the 144 and 440 arrays to do that. Not sure how close I
could get the 40 to the tribander with the 6-meter yagi about 12 feet
above that.

Oh! Lost the 160 sloper due to a shedding will tree yesterday during
the storm. I have to go all the way to the top to fix that.
