I have a DB224e that I am able to put up at thew 180 foot level of commercial tower. I am told by those with an agenda, so it seems, that if I place the antenna on the south face where the person is standing in the attached image the antenna will be far enough away from the tower that the tower will be invisible to the antenna and omni directional coverage capable. This statement is made whether it is a DB224e or a Station Master.
I also have permission to mount the DB224e between the 160 and 180 foot level on the left side of the image. The cross arms are 20 feet apart. The DB223e is 23 feet in length.
I'd like to read some opinions on 1) the first statement that the tower will be invisible if spaced about 4 feet away from the main mass of the tower, and 2) mounting the antenna between the 160-180 foot levels, which is my preferences based on the fact that out in the free and clear there would be minimal interaction. The cross arms are also 20 feet long. 2" OD pipe on the top and bottom in an L configuration up/down. Attach DB224e. I have 1 5/8" hard line waiting wither direction I go. But I want omni directional coverage as much as possible. I do not pretend to know the answer and humbly ask for input.
