Hi, I have a question to pose to the group. I have 400-550 ft bluffs 
that run to the NE-E-SE of me. These are anywhere from 3/4 to a mile to 
the east, and then a little more as you go North or South. I am in La 
Crosse down in the valley. I am curious as to what if any benefit 
elevating my antenna say 10 degrees or so on the tower. It is between my 
80 and 40 m antennas, so a EL Rotor would not help. This would be fixed. 
Any thoughts on the Pro's and Con's of this. Thanks, John W9RPM
