And more than once I've heard guys say a 15' or 18' or 25' high antenna on 10M
at the peak of the sunspot cycle is noticeably their best Europe run antenna
from the East Coast of the U.S.

You may not feel the same in five years. 100' is a good for 20m most of
the time but not for 10m during a sunspot maximum, where 30' to 40' may be
significantly better.

Jim Lux and others have given out a lot of valuable info to store on
the hard drive as far as I am concerned. Thanks!
Frank, W3LPL, told me if i had one tower to put up make it 100'. Every
time I came up with a scenario or anecdote from someone, his answer was
the same,"100 feet".
I did what he said.I have one 4 el Steppir and I have never looked back.
