Having the lowest take-off angle is great when wanting to work halfway around the world, or close to it, but there are times when having a really low angle is not desired such as when the band is open to an area a few states away. That is when having a higher take-off angle is better as it actually lays down a stronger signal into the target area than a low angle.

More good reads.
