I developed an analysis techniques which correlates an antenna's 
vertical response with the Angle-of-Arrival statistics published by 
ARRL. Basically it gives you a "figure of merit"  for an antenna at a 
particular height on a specific path and frequency. It's a useful tool 
for analysing the trade-offs at various heights. It shows very clearly 
that an antenna CAN be too high.

QST will be publishing it next month or the one after. If you want a 
"sneak preview" the same material in a different form is presented on my 
web-site:
