i’m sorry to be such party-pooper (i still think the contest idea is fun though), but you can’t just “reduce the field strength” of an antenna.
What you can do is change the antenna pattern, thanks to mechanical or electrical tilt, or reduce the BTS power…
If your question is : with one degree downtilt, how much rxlev do you loose at cell border ?
Then there is still no answer : it depends where your located compared to the antenna, and what is the antenna pattern (especially the vertical HPBW).
i’m a party pooper, OK…
