[50mhz] Re: antenna stacking question

[dpease at adams.net]

I agree with JV, BUT, we had a 5 element 6 meter yagi on a 16' boom only 3' 
above a 5 element 10 meter yagi on a 24' boom and it really worked well!  I 
am not saying the spacing didn't affect the pattern, but it still worked 
well.  My guess is your a reason for asking about the close spacing has to 
do with mast length or loading.  I suggest go with the most spacing you feel 
you can get by with.  I asure you it will still work plenty of stations.
