Topband: 4SQ around tower

[Rudy Bakalov]

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.
