Amazing how fast these auctions go when the max bid is $0.  :-)

Anyone have a good reference on spacing VHF antennas?  I've looked in
the ARRL Antenna book but they seem to assume like antennas (Yagi over
Yagi).

My situation is that I have a 2m loop, a 6m loop, and 10 elements of
2m Yagi.  I assume that if I put the 2m loop a meter or more above the
Yagi it will be fine (I don't want to go any higher than that above
the Yagi).

But how close below the Yagi can I go with the 6m?

1/2 wavelength seems to be the magic number, which would mean the 6m
loop would only be about 20' off the ground, which is probably OK.


Ideas?   References?  Experiences?
