My new house has 6 wooded acres in roughly a square. For EU, I was hoping to
get a pair of phased 500’ beverages spaced 350’ apart. To do that, one of the 2
beverages will be 110’ in front of the other due to the lot-line orientation.
Regardless of the phasing I’m modeling, the side and back lobes are not to my
liking. Is the 110’ forward stagger too far? I can get a single 600’ beverage
to Eu which has a marginally worse RDF (0.35 less) than the
not-perfect-staggered-pair but is much simpler and takes up less land.
How much RDF increase does it take to be audible?
