I've noticed that both KC1XX and W3LPL have yagis for 10m-20m going all
the way to 200ft high. Are yagis in the 150-200ft range for those bands
really all that useful, or are they more of a "few QSOs per contest"
level of usage? I would assume that once you get above say 150ft there
wouldn't be a whole lot of cause to put yagis even higher, correct? Is
there really enough long haul DX at those heights or is it really just
for a handful of QSOs?
