Getting ready to put up a 52' crank-up tower and I'm wondering what kind of
spacing I should use for the antennas.  The plan is to have a F12 C-3, a 6m
(possibly a F12 EF-606) and a Cushcraft A27010S at the top.

I'm thinking about a half wavelength spacing; ie:  about 9 feet between the
C-3 and the 6m and about 3 feet between the 6m and the 2m/70cm.  This means
I'd have around a 15 foot mast (or a little more).  Am I even in the right
ball park??  I trying to keep the interaction to a minimum and keep the
mast as short a practical.

Thanks. . .
