Thanks for all the helpful replies! I was concerned not only by the somewhat 
ungainly nature of the floppy trombones but also the 160lb weight. Are these 
concerns overblown?

Btw any climbing would be done by a pro. Certainly not me!

Thanks again!

I'm evaluating options for a future station. I'm thinking a Steppir DB36 with 
the 80m dipole would be a likely choice atop a 75ft tower. I'm evaluating the 
possibility of either a crankup/tiltover or something like a Rohn 55.

I'm wondering how something as complex and heavy as a DB36 would be installed 
on a guyed tower with all the obstruction of the guys. One way would be to get 
a crane.

Are there others?

Thanks
