No, it should be; but since everything else was ignored, it 
hardly matters: rack-mounted, this unit should not be using those 
antennas: the orientation of the rack mount forces the antennas 
to be arrayed incorrectly; the antennas SHOULD both be equi-
distant from the stage.  And yes, they would get better reception 
if they were leaning out to either side at about 45 degrees from 
vertical IF they were parallel to the stage apron; at vertical, 
the rack will interfere with reception.  But the fact that they 
are in the rack means that it won't make that much difference.
