[SixClub] Low antennas

[Gary - N3JPU]

About 35-50' is a good height to shoot for. It's not so much your height
above SL but what is in your antenna path for the first 2-3 miles that makes
a big difference.

Thanks to Joey and Gary.
I do realize and agree the point about terrain. I'm setting around 840'asl 
but have woods on two sides which do limit my signal in the summertime. 
Unfortunately, my tower height will max at 45-50' when complete,with a 2m 
omni at the top and 6m antenna/2m 11ele below that. At least I'll have 
something to start with,and may try throwing a wire up in one of the 100' 
sycamore trees behind the house!
Thanks again guys!
Larry
