I think it will depend on your surrounding terrain. Are you on a hill with a
clear shot in all directions ?
I have hills NW of me and going from 40 to 50 feet makes a big difference. I
ran the HTTA program on the
CD in the latest ARRL antenna handbook and it was very enlightening to see how
different heights affected
my antenna pattern. I would recommend running HFTA and see what it tells you
for your site. That is the
intended purpose of the program and it works very well.
