I've noticed that Panel antennas have a limited horizontal beam width. The
8.5dbi panel is 60 degrees, as is the MAXRAD WISP 9 dBi Panel Antenna. Any
higher gain will result in a beam width that would be not usable for wide
signal coverage close to the park., such as a Harmon Place site.
The price is cheap enough: $30 to $40.

The cheapest sector antenna is the MAXRAD WISP 14 dBi Sector Antenna, with a
90 degree horizontal bea mwidth, for $140. This would be the antenna to be
used at Harmon Place or its equivalent.

The 60 degree beam width antennas should be placed at some distance from the
park.

I haven't ordered any antennas: these are my considerations before ordering.
