You might want to throw in a few qualifications:
1. For a one tower station, overall good comprimise
2. Abvove reasonably flat ground
3. Over conductive soil
Now, I agree
(After 33 years in South Texas, I now live in the mountains, on dead-pan soil
and the RF world looks a bit different from this perspective)
