I read an article somewhere where the ham had some experimenting with the
radiation angle of an elevated 1/4 wave vertical. As you raise the vertical
you get lower radiation angles up to a point. Beyond that and then you start
getting high radiation angles. If you are interested I can dig it out. A
figure of 40 feet for a 40m 1/4 vertical comes to mind. After that any low
angle advantage was lost.
I have a 30m vertical at 25 feet and am not convinced about it's performance
yet.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 43 feet pole for vertical
I was wondering if someone has experience with a 43 foot vertical, mounted
on top of a tower. I used one before on top of my roof, but that one was
supported with simple guy wires. Needless to say that is not easy to do if
I put it on top of my tower (85 feet tall). Any suggestion? Maybe it is a
very stupid idea?
