>Even with a 400 ft high building, a horizontal antenna a fraction of wave
over the roof can be very disappointing.<

Tom is 100% right, one of the best rood top signal on top band is from
9M2AX. Ross tested several antennas and the only one that worked well was
the inverted L. He has a tall fiberglass mast on top a water mast to keep
the vertical part of the L high above the roof top. Ross also used a sloper
for some time.

Ross can provide more details of his excellent top band antenna.

Best combination is a horizontal loaded  loop like a flag for RX or a Waller
Flag and the vertical inverted L for TX.
