[Antennas] VERTICAL_MOUNTED_ABOVE_BEAM

[Chris Boone]

3 feet should be more than enough..I usually go with min 1/4wl spacing of
the highest freq..
There would likely be no interaction even with the 2mtr antenna mounted
right on top of the beam since the polarization is different. The mast
already going up thru the yagi's element plane would be the biggest issue.
