[TowerTalk] The Value of HFTA

[Edward Sawyer]

"Isn't that pretty much what I inferred?? You put it up as high as your
location and checkbook can stand and wait for the propagation gods to smile
on you."

Actually Wes, this is 100% wrong if you have complex terrain.  I have that
here and I modeled 10, 15, 20, 40 using HFTA.  On 40M a higher antenna would
be even more potent.  But on 10. 15. 20.  My lower antennas to EU - where I
have significant terrain enhancement, modeled to be the better antennas.
And after a decade of on the air observation, HFTA is spot on.
