A higher antenna (gives a higher antenna gain) with the same TPO (transmit power input) would equal a higher (ERP) output. Even if a stronger signal is approved by the FCC and Industry Canada, not cause interference with any other station, what would be the financial gain? The height gain, however, needs to be balanced against the feeder loss. At VHF and more so at UHF, the losses in the feeder become considerable, and in some instances may be more than the gain resulting from increased height. It is necessary to make a judgment call on this and obtain the best balance between gain from increased height, and increased loss from increased feeder length. [Link: electronics-notes.com]
