Hello to the group. Does anyone know what the optimum spacing away from an 18" faced tower is to minimize pattern distortion? I have to side mount two DB 224 antennas and I would like to try to keep the patterns as close to omni as possible. I will also have to side mount a 224 Mhz collinear and I was wondering if the spacing will differ between the dipole style antenna and the collinear styles.
I used to have a pattern modeling program on a disc just for this type of thing and it seems to be missing. Any comments are appreciated. John
