Wonder if it is worth the trouble to move it up to the 100ft tower and if there would be a big diffrence for DXing. The Quad is a 5Band Quad 2El. Jack List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handl

The BEST idea is to have one antenna at 40 to 50 ft and another as high as possible (or stacks for each band). There is NO such thing as ONE Optimum Height for all times of the day, all seasons of th

If you have flat terrain you would sure see an big improvement. Compare the vertical radiation diagramm for both heights (see the chapter "The effects of Ground" in the ARRL Antenna Handbook) and you

Higher is NOT always better....N4KG More comments inserted below. The ground reflection pattern includes a lobe straight up. The free space pattern of the antenna is focused forward. The radiated pat

If you only have one antenna at a fixed height it is! Sure, there are circumstances where a lower antenna will outperform a higher antenna, but a higher antenna gives better access to the longer pat

Since the original question concerned a move from 50 to 100 feet, in my experience a single 10 Meter antenna at 100 feet is almost always too high to do much good. With a single (multi-band) antenna

Mel (no call given): IF you put up a high tower, then I see NO reason that you can't also side mount a second antenna to fill in the pattern NULLS of the high antenna. These nulls can be quite deep (

I agree... for stuff I need to work (not E or relatively short F, most of which I've worked ) my antenna at 150 almost always beat the antenna at 50'. Remember, this is DXing generally, not contestin

John, Your C31XR at 110 ft is very close to 3 WL high (105 ft). A 3WL high antenna on 10M has a first lobe centered at 5 degrees (3db points 3 and 8 degrees) and a second lobe centered at 14.5 degree
