Hello RB group. I'm mounting a Cellwave PD455-5 Super Stationmaster on a 5 foot face tower at 750 feet. I have a 18 inch, 24 inch and 36 inch standoff to chosefrom. Which one should I use ?

If the tower will support the 36 use it. Also putting a support at the top keeps the antenna from getting beat up.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] bracket size
There are questions that need to be answered! Are you using the tower for a reflector? The rule of thumb is to be at least 1 wave length off the face of the tower at the transmit frequency some times more. We need to know what you want for a pattern? Omni get your DB-455 away from the tower. Placement on the face as well will makes a differents. We need more input as to what you want to do. Just hanging an antenna on a tower is not enough. Plus there is always tower loading. IE antenna, feed line, grounds, clamp, bracket and so on. I can reply to one of your questions. That being YES you will need a top bracket on a 455. If you would like you can call my office and we can chat on what you are trying to do. (877-992-2665) Just ask for Dean. Dean Westbrook, EE,PE. Cook towers, INC. Yahoo!
