I know, but the two sentences seem to say opposite things. The first one
says spacings less than 1/2 WL (33 ft on 20) are not a problem. The next
one says that you should be cautious specifying spacing less than 20 feet
on 20 meters. The first seems to say 33 feet or less is OK, while the
second says less than 20 feet is a problem.
