     All beam antennas should be 1/2 wave above the lower frequency to
achieve max low angel take off. The closer the antennas are, the more
vertical the signal becomes. I would place the antenna no less than 1/4 wave
apart.

Subject: [50mhz] antenna stacking question 
 
i purchased a 3el Cushcraft yagi which will go above my hf TA33. in a 
practical sense what is the minimum stacking distance. 
 
the TA33 has a 14' boom vs. the 6.6' boom on the 6m ant. . is 2-3' 
sufficient? 
anyone using a 3el 6m ant over an hf tribander?
