I think the spacing is a bit wide  try something more on the order of 250-270' ( goes through the middle of the house right ....8^)

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?
