Actually a tribander at 150' high has nulls at useful radiation angles and
you may not always get out like gang busters. I would consider stacking
tribanders or putting the single one lower on the tower and leaving the
40m beam at the top.

> Hello - I am intending on putting up a tower at my new home in Bandon,
Or. I
have 40 acres and it is surrounded with 70 foot high timber. When I saw the
layout and I thought I would put up a 150ft tower. I will not be doing this
often, so I want to put it up once and have it stand.
Hiya, Chris --
You should get out like gangbusters since you're close to saltwater.
First, you should read my UP THE TOWER book - The Complete Guide To
Tower Construction - available from many ham dealers and will answer just
about all of your questions including some you haven't thought of yet.
.
Cheers,
