Within 100 feet will probably be inside the radials. So a no go I would think. On 7/17/2017 4:10 PM, George Skorup wrote: The cell tower can become a radiator or director of the AM transmitter/antenna system and distort their pattern. It needs engineering and will typically get detuning

The cell tower can become a radiator or director of the AM transmitter/antenna system and distort their pattern. It needs engineering and will typically get detuning elements. 100 feet may not even work or perhaps it won't matter, I don't know. On 7/17/2017 3:53 PM, Dave wrote: I am looking
