>From personal experience with 80M inverted vees and
dipoles, there is a noticable benefit going from 60 to 90
ft for EU / AF. For the the really long haul, there seems
to be an additional benefit going from 90 to 120 ft or so.
(Wish I had taken my 130 ft towers to 160 ft for 80M :-)
There ARE times when my GP or vertical is better than
the high dipoles, especially to the Arctic / Scandinavian
parts of Europe and also at sunrise to UA0 / JA / HL.
