There is an OLD saying Verticals Radiate equally bad in all  directions. Of 
course they will out perform a low yagi on DX, because of  radiation angle. 
yagis and dipoles at low heights are cloud burners. that's why  local 
ragchewers 
use low dipoles. if you work DX get the radiation angle down.  If you must use 
verticals check out 1/2 wave and 3/4 wave verticals for DX they  have a lower 
wave angle.
