If you can find the archives from the old motorola forums. There was an in depth discusssion about this. The guy who did the flashlight comparison for atpc was the lead ( i really wish i could name him, hes the guy who walked me through our first, and best performing 900mhz site, his company tag was something like "covering 1800 square miles with canopy" he was out of california i believe.) The discussion got alot into the math and real physics of shadowing, we were mounting on the leg of a 4 leg water tower in trees. We wanted a solid mile of coverage and ended up with 10. The gist was, there is a magic number betwen closeness and distance dependent on the structure. It bled over to dslreports, if you can stomach going over there. But the archives of the two have alot of geek math. Close, or real far til you crink the windload, too far and youre back in a bad shadow was what it boiled down to.
