Well, I’m in the Chicago area, I’m 902’ elevation with a 60’ tower, the Mosley is at 65’, my 13B2 at 75’ and the top of my dual band 2m/70cm is above that.
Home brew Fan dipole covering 6/10/15/20/40/75/160 is at 65’ in an inverted V.
I can see the city skyline from 31 miles away from the second floor of my home.
