You might want to throw in a few qualifications:
  1.  For a one tower station, overall good comprimise
  2.  Abvove reasonably flat ground
  3.  Over conductive soil

Now, I agree

(After 33 years in South Texas, I now live in the mountains, on dead-pan soil
and the RF world looks a bit different from this perspective)
