[Elecraft] Best band for low cost DXing?

[Dan KB6NU]

While it's in general true that higher is better, you can certainly  
work DX with an antenna that's not up all that high. My 40m dipole is  
only about 20-25 feet up, but I work lots of DX with it. I work  
Europe regularly, and this week I worked the 3B7C DXpedition and  
TG9ADM in Guatemala. I keep thinking about trying to get it up  
higher, but then wonder if I should mess with a good thing.

73!
