Has anyone interlaced the following two antennas onto one boom?
40-2CD 2 ele 40 with:
10-4CD 4 ele 10.....
or a similar combination....I was staring up at the tower this weekend
while stringing a beverage looking at the two of them stacked about 5 feet
apart and it occurred to me that since both are coming down for maintenance
this Summer maybe they could share a common boom. Seems mechanically to be
a good idea......less boom area and the boom length of the 10 meter beam is
7 foot less than the 40's (16 vs 23) so it it would allow roughly three
feet either end of the ten til hitting a forty meter element......
Any chance the 10 beam cannot "see" through the forty?
Thoughts, pse.....
