Currently the top loop is at only 20ft but I am making many contacts.
Soon
however they will be placed off a sidearm on the tower.
The top loop could then be as high as 80 ft.

I have read and read about this topic. Does anyone have any first hand
knowledge of 6M height above ground comparisons especially for stacked
loops? Thanks....


6m is line-of-sight, so higher is better than lower.

IT IS??? !!! Then, I guess my confirmed QSO's with Japan, Australia,
Greenland, Chile, and others -- plus all states except R.I. (sigh...)
from western Colorado (while running just 9.5 watts) simply never
happened.

It is if the propagation isn't there or the moon is not a good shot.


Then again I only have 14 countries on under 20W in the last 3 years.
I need KH and Alaska for WAS. RI is next door for me being in MA.
Even with the off peak years there is a lot of propagation
that pops up at odd times.
