For long haul DX, in general the higher the better....taking in
consideration feedline losses etc. If you have time & tower room, sometime in
the
future you might want to invest in an antenna at the 35-50 foot level for high
angle stuff. ( You would be surprised how susceptible 50 Mhz is to angle
fluctuations during openings and the ability to switch back and forth pays
dividends )

All HF work has been completed on my new station. Now for 6 meters.
I have a homebrewed clone of a 7 el KLM. I can put it at almost any
height from 1 to 199 feet on my rotating tower. Being in FL there really
is no
major concern with the terrain although I do sit a bit of a rise in
several
directions.
Since I'm a rookie to 6, what would be the recommendations as to what
height to put this antenna?
