Personally, I don't understand all of the fuss about HFTA. In the
general case (sans 200' towers), aren't you pretty much stuck with
your environment with little to do about it?
My own station has complex topography, and Dean suggested that I take
data out to 14 miles. I ran a LOT of radials at a lot of heights, and
got pretty consistent results. They showed that the 120 ft tower I could
build for my SteppIR was about as good as I could do to get over ridges
to the north and east unless I wanted to add another 200 ft or so. :) I
consider that very useful and practical information!
