I'm confused.  When I model my future tower using YT, the best performance 
(pattern and gain) occurs with a spacing of 0.5 wavelength.  This spacing 
outperforms 0.6, 0.9 and 1.0 wave spacings on my flat ground (Texas panhandle). 
 So, 
why would 50 feet spacing on 20 meters be better than 35 feet?  Plans are to 
have 4 elements for 20 meters at 70' and 105', and hopefully someday another 
one at 140'.
