I have had a TH6 up since 1977 in 5 different QTH's. The first time, it was up 
at 60 feet, then 70 feet in three locations, and now it is at 80 feet.
 
It is an antenna that likes at least 50 feet of height. If it is lower, the SWR 
curves, front to back, and ground gain are all affected.
 
I can tell you that at 80 feet, it is a little too high on 15 and 10 meters for 
certain close in paths like the Caribbean. I seem to skip right over those 
stations.
