A good reason to mount your antennas on standoffs is so guys like me don't have to climb around them.

One purpose of offsetting the antenna greater than 1ft out was to solve that. As well as purposes to increase seperation between antennas at same horizontal plain, as well as avoid tower leg if an Omni. Although, we have mounted almost all our antennas to the tower legs just fine, with no problems.
