Hi All,

I agree
with Guy and others that the radiation angle changes so little as to not
be a problem.

Looking at your PDF diagram, I would suggest you
should add as many more radials 20m or longer each as you can install on
top of the middle building to enhance radiation and lower ground
losses.    That may lower your feed point inpedance to
below 50 ohms.  But in that we will help you deal with it
then.

Good luck OM     73 to all
