Well, you should be able to take the four bolts out of the center of the mast and get some adjustment there. Then you should be able to <cheat> the element coaxes within their holes in the mast to get the elements nearly omni.

You've probably seen the plots, and that the F/B ratio is 6db; 9dbd gain front, 3dbd gain rear. > Since the antenna will be on the side, should I use the 264 with the > elements all facing the water tower? That's a tough question. Seems like someone within the last 6 months or so was asking this same question. Do a search for <water tower> and other related words...
