Mike, don't you think that this might produce a strange pattern? DB
Products does not recommend taking their DB411 and 413 models, for
example, and moving the dipoles around the support pole for this
reason. The horizontal displacement of the dipoles in terms of
wavelength becomes significant at 70cm. At 2m this displacement is
not significant so moving the dipoles around the pole for omni
coverage is OK.
At 6m and below, it might work pretty well to space the dipoles around
the tower, depending on the cross-section of the tower. DB offers
this method as an option for it's low band dipoles.
