Decisions, decisions.
I took another look at the horizontal gain of the C2 vs. DB8e with the panels at 90* to one another. Coincidentally, that orientation is about what I'm looking at -- panel 1 aimed at 164* (that ch 32 heavy line of channels), panel 2 aimed at ~250*. Looks like it would maintain at least 5dBi in between the 2 aimpoints, 10 dBi at the 2 aimpoints. (see attached pic)
I was actually thinking of starting with 2 antennas, but I could start with 1 as well. Was thinking C2 + C5, then 5 minutes later thinking DB8e + C5, then just a C2V.
Will give it a couple hours to "sink in" and likely will order later tonight.
