There aren't enough messages on here !!!.. I am familiar with antenna height issues with hf such as stacking 2 antenna for different angles.. What about Vhf / uhf . Considering VHF .. How much height do i need. If i was putting up monobanders for 10 meters for stateside i would only need 35 feet or so.. Do I need lots of height for vhf.. seems like at 30' i am many wavelengths high. So i am thinking for eskip any height is ok.. what about tropo ??.. What about meteor scatter ??.. Obviously it matters for ground wave..  How much mast above the tower do i need for a 144, 222 and 432 antenna ?? what is the stack distance . I didn't see anything on the m2 site.. See knowledge and wisdom from fourlanders..
