there is "always" an antenna at the right height!

I don't believe it works that way, at least not if they are all phased in
at once.
With all 8 antennas fed in phase, you will get one big lobe at a low
angle,
(and possibly some well suppressed minor lobes at higher angles).
To see high angle signals, the bottom antenna would need to be switched
in by itself.
