If you have a 70 ft tower, place another tribander at 35 to 40 ft.
A PAIR of tribanders, high and low, will ALWAYS give you
better overall results than ANY SINGLE antenna at any
ONE fixed height, even if you do not phase them, just
select either high or low.
THERE is NO single height which will provide coverage
of ALL angles that the ionosphere will support.
