Remember, that when we talk of "best heights" that is a statistical number and is not always the best height. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but there was a good article in QST I believe last year.

Say, the best height is 60 feet 30% of the time, the other 70 % is spread through a variety of heights. So, when going for the best height it just means that height will be better than the others more often. Higher might give stronger signals, but fewer times. "Best Height" is dependent on frequencies, band conditions, and local soil conditions.
