I'd argue the largest reason for downtilt is to prevent interference with a
far out cell site.
Even with 5.8 I've had sectors interfere with other sectors 25 miles
away,without downtilt.
The problem is that downtilt can also cause more multi-path if shooting into
urban concrete instead of rural

Yeah, I've been fighting the -6db beam width in trying to figure them out.
I actually had the same thought earlier to dump the large sectors and
replace with the smaller 120's. I'm easily getting 10+ mile range out of

We have a lot of those sectors out and some of the lessons we learned
were: 1) The higher the DB the less downward/upward range it covers, 2)
same for 90's versus 120's, the 120's have a lot wider downward coverage
than the 90's. Its hard on us because all of our towers are are on

Main problem is that to get a 120 degree pattern with 16 db of gain you have
to have a razor-thin vertical arpeture (around 6 degrees). So you're
probably going to have to use the two-man method you're describing to get
optimum results, or use a lower-gain antenna.
