I live in a house with antennas mounted on my roof. The front of house roof is 25feet above ground. And the rear is 30 feet. What is the best Height for my feed points. I want to install an I-Max w/GP kit. Also Dual band(2m & 70cm) Vertical above a Beam(Both FM). How high should the Vert. be above the beam? Or just go higher is better? I would like them about 15'-20' above roof. But will go with the experts advice.
