Richard, the old tower is only 65 feet to the top.
This new one is going to be around 100 to 110 feet.
I hope to get a beam one day when I recover from all of this expense.
Thanks for the good wishes.

Hi Junior;
The more I think about that tower of yours the more envious I get.  I'm
curious how far out in the country are you and how much real estate do you
have to work with?  Give your help a big thank you.  Folks like that are
getting increasingly rare.  We need to get you a nice six element hf beam
for the top of that thing.
I'm curious, how high was your old tower?  It will be interesting to see
what the additional height does for signal strength.  I thought I died and
went to heaven with a little 40 foot tower back in the 1970s.
Best of luck and hope it all goes well.
