SO are you saying that if I kept the UHF elements the same orientation but stacked vertically I would end up with the same gain but keep the 70 degree HPBW? I think that would suit me based on my report!
Looking at the installation manual I think I can stack the loop elements and have the combiner bar connections on the loops facing each other and maybe this would still allow the combiner bars fit right up?
