This really has nothing to do with CB but every time I see a tilted antenna it reminds me of the conflict between the Cherokee County GA Sheriffs Office and Clayton County GA SO. The FCC granted both agencies permission to use 158.775 as their dispatch freq. I live in Cherokee Co and quite frequently I'd hear Clayton on that freq. One of the directives from the FCC was for Cherokee to tilt its transmitter antenna a few degrees. You can find the full directive on FCC.gov. Easy to Google

Interesting that a small tilt of the antenna would prevent same-frequency conflict.

"some have single frequency use for adjacent counties for operational reasons.."
Not in this case -
Yes, someone screwed up. You can't have the same freq used in neighboring parishes (or counties for you weird folks). They're going to step on each other. Tilting antennas does nothing but change the radiation pattern and makes reliable communication impossible. It makes for dead spots. Not good advice.
Timin770 Thanks this.
