[WAR ] Side mounted antenna question

[war at mailman.qth.net]

Does anyone on the reflector know of any good rules of thumb or guidelines to follow when
considering a mounting location for a two meter array side mounted on a tower where the
antenna needs to be inline with the guy wires?    

I am looking for a minimum recommend spacing to the down guys before any serious patter
distortion will occur.  Has anyone done any actual modeling to factor in guy lines?

Thanks,
