[TowerTalk] Modeling a self supporting tower interaction

Just curious I have an AN Wireless tower and was curious what effect the 
tower has on side or ring mounted antennas or even a stack.  My desire 
is mostly 6m related.  Element proximity to the tower is a factor.  The 
antenna would be a 7 ele FLA 30ft ish so there is a goodly amount of 
spacing between elements.

It is one thing to have a 2 or 3 inch mast running through the antenna, 
I would love to know what a 2.5 tower face does.  Others have indicated 
to me that while it seems like modeling Rohn 45 or a tower would be 
reasonable it is not.

Has anyone tried?
