I was given the opportunity of placing 3 repeater antennas at the very top of a 180 foot cellphone monopole tower. A horizontal arm mounted on the top of the monopole will allow the mounting of my 3 repeater antennas. Horizontal separation should be no less than 6 feet apart from each other.
Here are my 2 questions: We will be mounting 2 meter, 220, and a 440 repeater antennas. 1: What do you recommend between a choice of either RFS or Telewave Superstation Master Type or DB224E Dipole type for top mounting? Pros and Cons of each. I heard many stories about cracking for both. Wind load... These antennas will be top mounted! Located in the Catskill Mtns, Snow & Ice are problems. High winds etc.... 2: What do you feel about the pattern/reflection with having 3 verticals atop next to each other spaced say 6 feet apart? Thank you for your input: Len N2LEN
