Well, that's certainly a nice thought except for a few things: I already
have several of the 902MHz 6dBi patch antennas lying around, and a 12dBi
patch on 902MHz is going to be much larger than a corresponding patch with
the same antenna gain on 2.4GHz. Finally, there's the overall tower
loading to consider -- a two-foot by two-foot antenna is four square feet
of windload. Spreading that out over four seperate places distributes the
stresses on the tower.
But mostly I'm just wanting to use what I already have since I have a box
of nine I'm doing nothing with at the moment. :)
