Maybe it's just me, but....
I think before I put a whole lot of time, money and effort into getting
an antenna on the knoll, I'd do some experimentation down in the valley.
Maybe buy a really great antenna, and if it doesn't work, re-use it on
top of the knoll.

I am moving and am going to be in a challenging location. I am currently
1000ft above sea level and 600ft above a valley in Oregon. I am spoiled as
currently I can make SSB contacts in Brazil using my KX3 at 10 watts and a
Hexbeam antenna. I will be moving into a valley surrounded by nearby
hills/mountains at least several hundred feet higher than my new QTH. There
is a high knoll nearby I could put an antenna on that would require about
1100ft of cable. Is it a dumb idea to instead put a KXPA100 or maybe a
KPA500 at the end of the run at the antenna base and make the long cable run
between the KX3 and the amplifier rather than a straight run from my shack?
Are there other better/cheaper solutions?
