Some things to study. One costs a few bucks, the others are free.

1) Buy the report written by N0AX on the testing of verticals that he 
did with K7LXC. Sold by K7LXC's Champion Radio website. Well worth the 
money.

2) Study the Power Point slides on my website about Vertical Antenna 
Mounting Height and Antenna Planning for Small HF Stations.
