FD operation got me to thinking about this. On HF (depending on band conditions) there is a statistically preferred height for the distance to be worked. On VHF particularly 6-meters where long haul

I've worked 6M since I was a kid -- I was in WV for the great 1957-58 solar cycle when we worked South Africa in the morning, then W6, then KH6, and then JA. For weeks at a time! It was all AM, and 5

I have only been on 6M for the last few years. I have one yagi at 195' and another at 65' (on two different towers), and often notice dramatic differences between the two, with the relative signal st

My QTH is looking into a ridge to the N, E, and SE that rises 200 - 600 ft from my ground level, so higher is better. That SteppIR at 120 ft gives me a horizon between about 12 and 15 degrees to all

I would love to have a good yagi at 40-50 feet or so. However, I am like Joe and mostly use a dipole @ 30 ft and sometimes a 3 el yagi at the same height and my results are similar to Joe's. Yesterda

Purely anecdotal, but... I have been using the same 7 element, 33 foot boom 6 meter yagi for over 12 years. During that time I have had it at heights of 30, 70, and 105 feet. 30 feet worked very well

interesting - when I was in Arizona I worked 10 European countries on 6 as well as ZL/VK/FK8, JA and others ... 7 elements at 50'. This was from about 2007 - 2012 ... not at my radio computer so I do

Paul, Sounds like you need another antenna or two. Put one at 50' and the other at 75' and another at 100' and switch between them as the band changes. The 25' stacking distance is what M2 recommends

That was exactly my point! I've managed to work 413 and confirm 388 grids (49 states - need AK) in five seasons with nothing more than essentially a double zepp at about 25 feet. Not surprising. Look

I should add that I've had that 7L @ 115' for over 2 full sunspot cycles. I've probably worked close to as many or maybe more countries on six. On the peak, two cycles ago, I basically could have had
