I was asked how far from the side of a tower should a omni antenna be to not get too distorted/affected by the metal in the tower. I need a practical answer so Infinity will not work. :) I am certain it is a function of wavelength. And my antenna is for 2.4 GHz. It is 15 db gain Omni, about 4 feet tall (if that makes a difference.) Kip -- Kipton Moravec AE5IB .- . ..... .. -...
