That solution would add a bit of vertical beam width adjustment as well. A plus when trying to reject the signal from a tropospheric path. If the signal from the offending source is arriving at an angle from above, the simple 2D trigonometry starts to fail. Again, we can estimate the spacing but it may need to be adjusted in the field.
Now I'm wondering if a Rhombic would be an easier solution to fabricate...

Or a huge 20+ foot home-brew Yagi. (See attached) (Which will not offer the deep null that is possible with the horizontal stack.)
