Has any one solved the problem of omni directional pattern distortion when side mounting a DB-224 on a tower ?
 
I've side mounted several DB-224's using the DB 5001 side mount kit.  
 
The results agreed with the radiation pattern supplied by Decibel Products, i.e. a distortion of the omni pattern and signal attenuation off the tower leg that the antenna is mounted on.
 
Will different mounting distances off the tower leg improve the omni pattern ?
 
Can a 224 be mounted on each side of the tower with a phasing harness or power divider ?
 
BTW, the tower I'm using has a 42" face.
 
Any ideas will be appreciated.
