[VHFcontesting] Optium antenna height

[John Geiger]

Another local VHFer and myself were having a
discussion as I was driving to work today about
antenna height for VHF.  One thing we wondered about
is if there is an "optium" antenna height for VHF, or
is "higher always better."  Is there a point where the
extra height isn't worth the cost of tower, coax, etc,
and the extra loss in the coax-in terms of the
increased distance you will work?  Or does extra
height always outweight these other factors?
