What boom-length beam? VERY generaly, longer booms should be higher.
What mode, Es or F2? Again, generaly, best Es beam is 20 to 40 feet up, F2
works better higher.
Short beam (25' or less) 25 to 40 feet above ground will work well for Es
and F2. Long boom (40' and up) at 40 to 60 feet will work slightly less
well for Es but better for F2 and perhaps tropo.
At times, on 6M, all bets are off!
