Hi,
Yeah! And add to it, height matters too. The higher the better is not
really the case. You gotta hit the sweet spot height wise.

Huh? Height gain is real and exist for all frequencies. The only
time excess height will work against you is when your feed line losses
outweigh you height gain. You'll have to go very high for this to
happen on TV frequencies. There is no sweet spot unless you
are somehow physically obstructed.

Hmm,
From the days when I was active in telecommunications engineering,
I was trying to capture long distance TV relay signal, guess what?
I could only get a decent stable signal at certain height on the tower.
Lower or higher the signal disappeared. Had numerous instances like this
on VHF, UHF, troposcatter, microwave repeater installations. Retired in
'96 after spending my whole life in the field and been a ham since my
boyhood as well.

Then you must be misinterpreting what is going on. Height is never
detrimental to an antenna unless line losses come into play.
