Same here.

If I could have only one antenna per band,
the heights would be:

10: 70'-80'
15: 80'-100'
20: 90'-120'
40: 130'-160'

Low antennas just don't work here in MI - I've tried
them many times in three different locations. They
don't work into Europe, they don't work into SA, they
don't even work into the left coast.

Once in a while, they work into FL or Cuba, but that's
about it.

Fine Print:
The above based solely on my own experiences.
It might be something in the water.
