I verified that just about 13 dB down on the first sidelobe gives you
the best pattern, and is about .2 down from highest gain.

Or you can do it using YO, EZNEC, etc., and increase the spacing until
the first sidelobe is minimized, and the next stacking distance step
makes it larger. I think that's at 13dB down, but I could be wrong,
17dB also sounds correct.
