How High should my Dipole be

I frequently hear the question: how high should my dipole be? Or alternatively, will my dipole work well at this or that height?

My Antenna Zepp, Double Zepp, or Dipole
Two independant wires separated by insulated spacers and usually having an impedance in the range of 400 to 600 Ohms
Reversible Parallel Slot Antenna
Low Profile Paired Verticals for HF a couple of years back and I decided to build one for the low end of 20 Meters
Simple wire dipoles and verticals
You can achieve the bang of a horizontal dipole at a one half wavelength height required for low angle DX performance
Sky-Hook for the Antenna Wire, DL6IP
The receiving antenna was a 122m long wire fixed to a Kluever Kite that served as a sky-hook. This law of physics is still true today
