The antenna would be installed so that the panels, as viewed from overhead, are facing northeast and southwest. <snip>

I've been wondering about this lately, after reading several threads where folks have clumps of UHF stations grouped at 180 deg. to each other. Is it better to orient a DB8e (or other similar 2-part panel antennas) with both panels in line but no reflector, or rotate them to face away from each other and leave the reflectors in place?
From your recommendation of removing the reflectors, it would seem the former is better, but I'm just curious as to how much better over simply rotating them to face away from each other, since removing the reflectors is essentially a one-way trip if you don't have the tools or ability to reattach them.
