Well part of the problems lie in the installation. How high, what is near it, metal roofs can affect swr, soil conductivity. A myriad host of issues that prevent most antennas installs from being a simple put it up and talk.
So in effect each antenna installation can be as individual as each of us.

What your saying is so true that is why I found so many differences of opinion and why I jumped a full 1" on my last adjustment because I read somewhere that 22' 9.5" was the magic number. I was at 22" 8" and I figured 22" 9" would still leave me room to play. I have to laugh because it is a tough game for a OLD FART like me to play! LOL
