I wish I still had my old house and tower. 50' Rohn HDBX-48 with a Mosley Tri-bander, a 2m Cushcraft 13B2 and a Diamond 17' 2m/440 antenna at the top. Under the beam on a standoff was a 10-160 fan dipole.

Radio's were a Kenwood 940SAT, Kenwood TS-2000, Kenwood 480HX, Motorola 6500, Motorola 8300 (DMR Repeater) and the amps were Ameritron AL-82's and an Alpha 9500.

Still have the radio gear and amps, the house and tower are gone. :-) I did manage to get a 6-20 legal limit fan dipole strung up in my attic and working well. Still working on getting a decent 40m folded dipole laid out in the attic.

Nice setup. My wife is a police/fire/EMS dispatcher and licensed ham. She provides the liaison between hams/LEO/fire services and animal rescue reserve in fires. ARES/RACES/packet for me. Little HF. Licensed since 1976. My house has aluminum siding all around, so the antennas need to be outside. Kudos on the successful attic antennas.
