If you'll check the height of most Class A clear channel stations, most are 180 or 195 degrees. Experience has shown that a 5/8 wave (225 degree)?tower has a very high angle lobe that bounces off the ionosphere and interferes with the ground wave.? WSM and WLW when first built had this problem and cut off the top part of their towers to eliminate the close in interference they were causing themselves. I would suggest the perfect height for a tower would be 195 degrees for optimum day and night coverage.
