For VHF and UHF it takes over 80' just to get above the trees around 
here.   My tower for the tribander is only 50 feet and the WARC-7 will 
go about 10 feet above that.
I've moved my satellite dish twice and now it's going to need to go up 
the tower another 20 feet to see over the neighbors willow tree. That 
tree just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Three years ago, when the 
tornado warning had gone off, I was in the back yard. From nearly 200 
feet away I could hear the trunk of that thing groaning and cracking.  
The trunk was bent about 30 degrees to the East, but just as I thought 
it was going to cure my problem the wind let  up and the tree is still 
growing.  The trees don't seem to bother HF, but they sure do VHF and 
above this time of year.

I heard a lot of stations on six but they were all brief.   Only a 
couple were stronger than S5 or 6. Most were just above the noise and 
there were a LOT of those.
