We have this exact situation on one of the systems I take care of. It has
worked great! We use a community antenna for our recieve (top mounted-
no pattern issues) and use two DB-224E's phased with a home brew
phasing harness as our TX antenna. One is mounted on the east side
of the tower, and one is mounted on the west side. The elements are
arranged so that on the east antenna all four are facing east, with the
west antenna set up with all four elements facing west. Good luck, and I
hope this solves your coverage problem. 73,
