You can download the results of N6BV's latest work on elevation
angle statistics here:
http://www.arrl.org/notes/antbook/yt-files.html
You can spend many enjoyable hours studying these files.
These hours are even more enjoyable if you plug them into the
YT or YTAD program, and vary antenna heights and stacks, to
find antennas that best match the elevation statistics.
YTAD is available here:
http://www.arrl.org/qexfiles/
I think YTAD comes with some old statistical files. Be sure to
replace them with the new ones from the first URL referenced above.
Enjoy.
