[VHFcontesting] 6m Take off angles?

[Fred Lass]

The limit is when the terrain in front of the antenna causes the main lobe to dip below zero degrees.  Most DX on six meters with F2 occurs at the lowest angles.
I suppose that the middle of the sunspot peak when the band is wide open a slight elevation may be useful.

But there is a limit though, right?

I mean even the 'big guns' complain about some antennas being TOO high on HF.
