    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 :-)
