[BC] Shopping center arrays

[Gary Peterson]

Is anyone aware of any horror stories involving a public roadway passing
through a directional array?  I wonder if large parked vehicles or the
addition of light standards/traffic lights has had any significant effect on
phase/ratio/monitor point field strengths.

I would assume, if this is a problem, that arrays with higher mutual
impedances between towers and licensed at higher frequencies would be most
affected.

" WGUL 860 site in Safety Harbor Florida (Clearwater area) has their three
towers in an industrial park.  The streets go under the guys.  One tower is
in a small parking lot next to one of those steel buildings, another is in
the middle of a retention pond in the middle of the industrial park.
I always wonder how hard it is to keep that array in tune
