Default A3S/A743

Does anyone know the Radiation Angle of these antenna's (Cushcraft
A3S/A743) at 33 feet or if there is a formula to calculate it ?

Thank You

Different operating frequencies = different answers.

Are you looking for a comparison between the antennas? For most
horizontally polarized low/medium gain antennas (which those are), the
vertical (elevation) pattern is going to be almost entirely determined
by the height above ground (so there won't be much difference)..

There is a formula (which I can't recall off the top of my head) which
would give you the elevation angle of maximum gain for a given
height. You might want to invest in a copy of the ARRL Antenna Book,
which includes a program called HFTA which does the calculations and
lets you do a lot of cut and try.

No, I already bought these antennas last year when I was very sick, so
I didn't check everything as I should have. I just wanted a close
number of degrees for the radiation angle. Cushcraft says they can't
hazard a guess. That's really poor. Just something close was all I was
after.
