I was speaking of pointing all the elements in the same direction - away from the tower, all mounted on the same leg. You should see good gain for about 180 degrees in the direction the elements are pointed. Hard to say whet you'll get off the back of the tower, but it might not be as bad as you think. Sometime you just have to try it.

I picked up an almost new DB224 but no mast so I am following this thread with interest. 73 JIM KA2AJH From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Kelsey Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2009 7:43 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] 2M Vertical Dipoles That will work well to favor one area.
