A 6-footer is squat. You still have plenty of room for improvement in the 
antenna area. For example, I have a 12ft yagi boom antenna on my rooftop with 
a 10ft mast. (And all-RG6-QS cabling and a signal amp). I get everything 
quite nicely now, even in less-than-stellar weather conditions (Seattle 
area).
