You can also tinker with the spacing on the elements to produce downtilt in your pattern if you have a really high location. The DB 440 antennas react more to spacing/downtilt than the 2 meter 224 series. DB also offers antennas with downtilt in them. You will need a way to measure your pattern to see how much you get with how much spacing.
