Here is a picture of my tower, handbuilt while at my mothers house, 63 feet of tower made of electricians emt conduit and lots of bolts. That's a 4L 10 at 73 feet, given to me by now sk W3OKU (former OSS in WWII), and a 3L 15m at 64 feet.

This area was a strip mine, nothing but coal waste for acres. This coal mining area is now full of houses. The open countryside is now full of houses too.
