Isn't that pretty much what I inferred? You put it up as high as your location
and checkbook can stand and wait for the propagation gods to smile on you.

Personally, I don't understand all of the fuss about HFTA. In the general
case (sans 200' towers), aren't you pretty much stuck with your environment
with little to do about it?
My own station has complex topography, and Dean suggested that I take data out
to 14 miles. I ran a LOT of radials at a lot of heights, and got pretty
consistent results. They showed that the 120 ft tower I could build for my
SteppIR was about as good as I could do to get over ridges to the north and
east unless I wanted to add another 200 ft or so. :) I consider that very
useful and practical information!
