In my last email I said M Squared, but after thinking, maybe it was Force 12. But it was one of them and still my answer is the same: If they don't resonate with the other antenna, stacking distance is irrelavent. I know this from experience and from lookng at many antennas with interlaced elem

Hi: Mounting a Cushcraft A3WS 5 feet above my KT34A seemed to significantly degrade the performance of my tribander on 10 meters - not sure exactly what frequency relationship caused the problem. A side mounted small 10 meter monobander mounted lower outperformed the higher tribander. I would

I wonder why M squared gets by with mounting 3 seperate 2 element beams resonant on three non-resonant bands on the same boom. If they are not resonant on the same bands, stacking distance is irrevalent. Jim - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc:

2-3 ft seems a bit tight. I would look for at least 6ft. I am not familiar with the antenna, but know when I installed an 80M rotating dipole ant from Force 12, they said it should be mounted in-line with the boom of other antennas. I mounted it between a TH-11 and 2 el 40M beam with about 6 ft

I plan on mounting a CushCraft D3W dipole on the mast above my Mosley TA-33JR. What distance should seperate the two antennas to avoid interaction. As of now I have between 2 - 3 feet. I can replace the mast with a longer one if needed. Thanks, Jerry WW0E __
