I kinda wish that I could worry about how high. I have to make do with a
low antenna, and, because of a large rock to the north of me, not being
able to hear Europe at all!!
But is Beverage Ants are long and low, receiving loops low, say 21ft square
10ft above ground, then low might have something. However, maybe the
assumption of receprocity of Rx ant and of Tx is a false assumption, which
I think is assumed here.
