Hi Roy - you mean for 160 meters?  I think there are plenty of credible ways to cobble odd pieces of tower together to make a useful antenna, especially if climbing it is never something you need to do, and if it crashed to the ground it's not that big a deal.

If you're asking if a 30 foot vertical can be made to be useful on 160 meters, I think, depending on the definition of "useful" the answer can definitely be YES and I can think of a whole lot of QSOs that have been made with verticals about that tall.

Hello Topbanders,

I have three 10-fot sections of triangular steel tower, about 8 inches on a 
side.

Is it practical for me to make a useful vertical with these, either bottom fed 
or gamma matched?

Thanks for advice or experience.
