        I've done better with relatively smaller (and lower) 
antennas on 10 meters than most of the multi-multi's:

        With 3 identical 6L KLM's at 35/70/105', the first one
I would give up would be the one at 105' and the last one
would be the one at 70'.  Of course this is 10 meters so you
need to adjust accordingly in terms of wavelengths.  Bigger
(and higher) does not automatically make for better contest
results...other factors are location, operator, etc.
