Ah cool, the discussion is continuing.

I see you are leaning towards a DB8e at a lower installation. My only caveat here is that while the DB8e is an excellent antenna, it cannot overcome signal degradation from the trees. The trees are a wild card and you won't know until you swap out antennas.

Reception could work out well, could be worse or could be the same. You just have to try.

The best practice though is to get line of sight (read: above the trees). Anything else puts you into foliage blocking scenarios which which are traditionally deal breakers for weak signals.

Cheers.
