Obviously, this is an "all things being equal" sort of analysis. Given a 
good operator, what's a dB worth.

I've since done some analysis of antenna system design, and answered the 
question, what is 10 ft worth?

http://k9yc.com/VertOrHorizontal-Slides.pdf  Many may be surprised by 
the results. I wanted to answer the question, If I pay tree climbers 
$800 to raise my 80/40 dipoles 30 ft, what does that buy me?  You 
probably will not. :)

A real world answer -- in one weekend, three new band countries on both 
80M and on 40M when I already had 195 on 80 and 245 on 40M.
