[Elecraft] OT - Yagi and OCFD vertical separation

[Mike K8CN]

I'll add to Don's guidance this question: 

If you're NOT using the OCFD for receiving concurrently while transmitting
on the Yagi,  are you concerned about interaction of the two antennas with
regard to pattern distortion of the Yagi by currents induced in the OCFD?  

If so, then you need a few wavelengths separation at the frequency of
interest (20 meters being the lowest frequency for the Yagi).  If you don't
care about the Yagi's pattern distortion, then don't worry about the
separation distance.  Many folks hang inverted V antennas for the low bands
from the same tower on which Yagis are mounted, often just a few feet down
from the Yagi.
