| In your other thread you mention an old water tower and that you can get 75 feet elevation from it. How much mast on top of the water tower gets you 75 feet?
Can you post photos of the water tower? YOu may be able to push 50 feet of popup mast on top of the existing water tower height. You might be able to guy a length of residential tower to make it easier to climb.
Residential towers start at about $10 per foot while commercial free-standing towers are closer to $100 per foot. |

Tallest building is currently the Taipei 101 building at 1671 feet. That guyed tower must be the tallest structure in the world. What's the hiring rate for circus monkeys to climb, install and point the antenna ?  |

I don't climb it. |
