I have a dipole under the second story porch and I like it, but it does pick up a lot of noise and the furthest I can get sometimes is Indiana from Colorado. So, I think I want to upgrade.
I have never had a tower, or a rotator or a yagi, let alone see the set up, up close. I do a lot of 40m and 20m digital, and wanting to get into the bigger stuff like voice. What would you buy? The most wind we have ever gotten out here has been 70 mph (fast enough to roll a 8 foot high culvert pipe up a hill!) So I am thinking something I can lower in a bad wind storm or blizzard.
What would you recommend for a first tower timer?
