First of all, the best height for Mosley antenna installation is in the
box on the floor of your garage. Apparently you haven't read the K7LXC and
N0AX tribander comparison report where we test 2-3 different Mosley
tribanders and they all underpreformed the competition. The report is
available from <A HREF="http://www.championradio.com";>www.championradio.com

Of course this is only my own personal documented opinion.

It depends and it all has to do with takeoff and arrival angles. I'll let
N4KG and others chime in with their well documented research and experiences.
