VE9HF:
I concur with Jim's recommendation of Trylon Titan towers. I
constructed and installed mine in 2001. They are a sturdy, MEDIUM-DUTY
(their web page says light duty, so Caveat Amateur) tower ideal for smaller
HF or larger V/UHF arrays. Their web site
http://www.trylon.com/lightdutytowers/titanselfsupporttowers.asp also
contains an app that will permit you to simulate the antenna loading of
various antennas to determine which model you need for your proposed antenna
complement.
