Hi all, I've read on all kinds of sites that for hf, hight is important 
when raising an antenna. my question is, how important is it really? 
I've a random length wire atop my fence which is roughly 5 and a half 
feet high. the fence is wood. would raising this wire provide me better 
results on receive? if so, given that I want to work predominently 40 
and 80 meters, what is a safe hight without upsetting the xyl or the 
neighbours or local government?
actually, I should ask, what is the reccomended hight and what is a 
reasonable hight.
