Hi, Pete --
"Detrimental interaction" comes in two forms - changes in SWR and
pattern distortion.
Just about all the manufacturers would like 9-10 feet separation between
antennas but I've had a 402CD within 6-7 feet of a TH11 and KT34 and what you
notice is that the closer the antennas are, the higher the SWR. The 6-7 foot
spacing worked FB. The SWR was higher but acceptable. I don't have any
comments on the effect on patterns.
>The 30m dipole would be the F12 EF130 mounted at the same height as the
402CD.
This has been reported as working well for coverage of 40 and 30. >>
Is this in addition to or instead of the 402CD? I wasn't sure. I don't
have any idea what would happen with the 402CD and EF130 interlaced.
The F12 2L 30M beam is a really nifty little antenna that I'll guarantee
you'll be happy with.
