The advantage of top loading for the 90 footer will almost make up for the height advantage of the 120 footer. The structural degree of difficulty is much greater for 120 feet than 90 feet, so it would be hard to justify 120 feet. If you have a good enough ground, there is no advantage to the additional height (except greater BW). Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
