 Kaz,
I could use taller supports. Do you recommend 22 ft. height? I read where smaller DKAZ antennas might suffer from degraded lower band results. I just went off of a height to length ratio derived from previously published material. I appreciate your input!

 Craig, I fear this will be too small for the lower half of the band. Can
you use significantly taller vertical supports? I use these which
unfortunately cost 15 bucks more than when I bought a bunch.

ft but mine measure about 23 ft when fully extended.
