According to (sk)W2PV's Yagi Antenna Design book a good height is 1 1/2 
wavelengths high.

I have started my Rohn 45 tower projhect. I am planning to put a Cushcraft
A3WS and a TH7DX atop this tower. I was planning on erecting a 100 foot
tower but a fellow ham suggested that that might be too high. What in the
groups informed opinion would be an ideal height for these antennas?


I appreciate your input
