For antennas, I've taken to thinking of antenna height solely in
meters. For any horizontal antenna, the key dimension is the height
above ground in wavelengths -- and it's hard to judge wavelengths
from heights given in feet.
Example: a 15m tower with a tribander has the antenna at 3/4 wave on
20m, 1 wave on 15m, 1.5 wave on 10m. Easy.
How about a 50 foot tower?
