I took a look and as it says its relative. Don't think there is a trusted relationship. Good to hear you have everything going. I believe outside is important not so sure huge height much matters at 60Khz. I ran at the 45 level on a tower for years and have to say 6 foot in the woods seems to operate just as well given the propagation variation every day. You may not need it but I have a number of wwvb rcvrs so I built an active splitter to feed up to 6 units. Essentially single opamp in to 6 buffer amps. Stupid simple. Regards Paul WB8TSL
