If I understand correctly line of sight, and height, are key to extending how far you can transmit. What tricks have others used to gain height around their area? I'm kicking around a lot of ideas that range from a flagpole in my backyard to asking the local musicality if I can mount a node on our water tower. What has given you the most success for extending range in a tricky area?

Unfortunately i think i know the local ham guy and his tower is a lower elevation than my back yard. I'd debated asking him if he wanted to move the tower to my house but i'm not interested in being responsible for somebody else's gear on my lot, at least not gear that expensive.
