Greetings all, first time posting here!
I have a question on recommended stack spacing, for using 2 cushcraft 5 element 6m yagis, looking to put 2 up on a short crank up tower for the June VHF contest. By short tower I mean a 30ft to the lower 6m antenna. I am talking about stacking one above the other.
What would you recommend for stack spacing using 2 of the CC 5 element, stock standard yagis? Max gain would be nice, but also I need to not get crazy in terms of spacing distance. I have seen in some places recommendations for .6 wavelength spacing for lower sidelobes, however I have also read that each type of antenna and height needs to be modeled to arrive at optimum spacing.
Any help, thoughts certainly appreciated. Thanks so much.
