I have a 65 foot tower in the back yard. It used to have a tribander on it. Now it supports:
a 40 meter delta loop at 60 feet, which I use for Winlink RMS Trimode on 40, 20 and 15.
an 80 meter inverted vee, also used on RMS Trimode
on a cross arm at 55 feet I have a VHF/UHF omni, used for Winlink RMS Packet (on VHF VARA FM)
Two AREDN network nodes, one of 5.8 GHz (primary network access) and a 2.4 GHz node as backup.
On the chimney I have a mast with a cross arm that supports:
a 220 MHz sleeve dipole for a couple of local repeaters
a 6 meter/VHF/UHF tribander, used for local repeaters.
anemometer for weather station
on a short mast on the peak of the garage I have a VHF/UHF omni, used for Winlink RMS Packet (on 2 meters).
Hmmm.. that's a lot :-)
