Learn it and use it ... both are trivial to do, and the program is free 
with the ARRL Antenna Book.

My elevation is appox. 1400 ft and I live on top of a ridge that has a clear 360 degree view of the area. There are some ridges in view that are above my elevation but they are far enough away that they should not be a factor.  I am in the process of installing a 72ft free standing (US tower TX-472) crank up with a 10 ft mast. Antenna will be a multiband Hex 20m-6m. The only close obsticle (Across the road from my tower) is a Water tank that is 32ft high.
