I used an omni once. It took me about two months to pull it down. Still have it as a matter of fact. If you are in an area with no interference that is probably fine. Problem is if somthing does come in it affects everyone. Also it's hard to find the source. I think you might be better off with two sectors with some pretty serious downtilt. Then if there is interference you are more likely to work areound it. I woud be glad to talk to you about what I have learned an what I do offlist or over the phone if you would like. Just email me offlist.
