What does the takeoff angle have to do with which antenna is best?




That would depend on the desired contact. If you want 80 meters DX,
you want a very high antenna, if you just want to talk to your local
buddies, a lower antenna provides a better NVIS.

Verticals provide better omni-directional pattern but a slanted dipole
provides better directivity than a vertical.

Beams are obvious.
