A couple of reasons.... 1. Antenna mounting space reuse. Standoffs have antennas facing up but not down. Allows the use of multiple antennas on one mount.
2. Omni antenna designs that will provide more saturation and downtilt when inverted as an omni has natural "uptilt" when mounted normally. You will usually find cell sites (usually old Nextel Sites) where the omni's are mounted inverted to better saturate a local area. NOTE: The antennas are specially made to be inverted. Do not try this with something off the shelf. Most omnis have vent holes to drain moisture. Invert them and you will loose this ability in most cases. -B- RickG wrote: > While traveling around, I've noticed a few towers with omnis mounted upside > down with a neighbor omni mounted right side up.
