You will always have diffraction effects. No way around it. Different spacing
causes different effects. I would put it on the side of the tower that has the
majority of the customers.
For certain 2 wavelengths. At 10 wavelengths most of the worst effects are
gone. So 20 inches for 5 GHz.

I thought Chuck posted something awhile back about X many wavelengths, I
suspect 2 ft should be fine at 5 GHz, but no matter what I assume you’ll lose
some signal going through the tower.

I'm not exactly sure how much standoff I need, I guess that is part of the
question.

How much standoff do you need? I have used Andrew S200 like George says (2
ft standoff) or S300 (3 ft), actually they go up to 6 ft standoff. Or
Connect-It Wireless S2-S6. Can be used on vertical or sloping tower legs.
Sitepro1 also has several solutions, some of which are YUGE!

I had looked at those, I just didn't know if it had enough standoff for use
with an omni - from a shadowing perspective.

Anyone have suggestions for a standoff mount for use with a 5GHz omni? It
will be mounted to the side of a Pirod tower, so I'm going to need some sort of
standoff to minimize shadowing.
