[TowerTalk] Optimum Stacking Distance

Some advice to take the effective boom length of the antenna in wavelengths
and take the square root of it.  This is the optimum stacking distance of
your beams in Wavelength.

I think it is way too general not taking into account heights and antenna
specifications.

You can only find the answer with modelling software.
