The east and west sides each have antennas which extend from one end of each of said east and west sides to the other end of each of said east and west sides. The north and south sides have radiators. The longer east-west side configuration may be used not only to accommodate larger east-west side antennas, but also to accommodate deployable radiators on the north and south sides.
