Hi doug...One of the repeaters I built is located is the south eastern
corner of its projected coverage area,which is roughly a square with 70 mile
sides.
We are using a 4 element yagi fed by LDF450 heliax. The yagi points
diagonally across the square at the northwest corner across the hights of
local moorland.The radiation of the sides and rear are fine for the local
town behind the 10 miles behind the site to the south east.I had no
problems setting it up at all.
Hope this helps
