Hello to the group. My call is KC0LCL. Given a choice of running a Hex-Beam
at 40' which is its reccommended height or Something like the KT36XA from M2
technologies at the same height. 40' is pretty low for that antenna. Any
advice for a new Ham?

Details:
QTH  Missouri
550' above sea level on a ridge (good ham spot)
70'+ tall trees all around
Location  will accomodate 40' radius of "clear"
Could go up to 70' legally, but not financially.

Thanks,
Barry
KC0LCL
