[Antennas] Antenna placement

Tue, 1 Oct 2002 13:21:03 -0500

I use a magnetic mount 2 meter vertical antenna setting on the thrust
bearing plate (top plate) of a Rohn 45 64 foot Foldover tower.  Setting 2
feet above this is a 5 band 2 element cubical quad.

There may be a little interaction, but I would mount the 6 meter on the tip
top of the mast, then mount the other antennas about 2 feet away on the beam
boom or with a 4 foot long boom mounted to the mast with a flat plate and a
couple of muffler clamps with the 2 meter antenna on one end and the 70 com
on the other.  The two high frequency antennas are typically put on the roof
of a car within 18 inches or closer of each other.

Subject: [Antennas] Antenna placement

I have recently acquired some remote antenna switches and want to put up
antennas for each band that I use.  Currently I am only have a technician
license so I want to put up a 6m vertical, a 2m vertical, a 70cm ground
plane, and a 2m beam(probably a yagi).

My question is since I am only using one of these at a time, can they be
spaced relatively close together, or how much separation do they need?

Can I put a vertical on the same mast as the beam?
