Gery,

the easiest thing would be to hang simple inverted vees if you have enough
yard space for the ends of the wires.  I have worked 138 countries running
700 watts and an 80 meter inverted vee at just 35 feet in years passed so
that would be easiest and the least expensive type antenna to put up on your
tower till you are ready for something else.

Phil,  I read your story about the cable and tower climbers and all.  I have
a 40 ft tower and I can climb.  I have a harness so safety first.  I just
got the ham shack finished and went way over budget.  Can't get beams now.
What could I put on the tower just to get on the air?  Strictly hf is where
my interests are.  Besides, I only have a 2 meter rig and an hf (icom 751A.
