I am in the process of clearing land for full size 80m 4SQ. I have two 
questions for the group:

1) How much and what kind of degradation should I see if I place the 4SQ 
elements around my tower. The tower is 90' and has a 4 el 40 m yagi at 90' and 
6 el tribander at 105'. Currently I have no plans to detune the tower, but do 
have plans to use it as a 160m TX antenna.

2) If the consensus is to move the 4SQ away from the tower, how far should I 
move it? Also, in what direction should I move it with respect to the W and S 
elements of the 4SQ.
