While it's in general true that higher is better, you can certainly
work DX with an antenna that's not up all that high. My 40m dipole is
only about 20-25 feet up, but I work lots of DX with it. I work
Europe regularly, and this week I worked the 3B7C DXpedition and
TG9ADM in Guatemala. I keep thinking about trying to get it up
higher, but then wonder if I should mess with a good thing.

There is also some question as to whether or not my friend can get a
horizontal antenna more than about 20 feet off the ground.
