Let me just say that anyone considering a stack of long boom (or other
length boom) Yagis
should define his/her requirements first, then model the antennas and the
stack and then, iterate the model to achieve the requirements, all *before*
they install the system.
Note that this suggestion does not include asking a newsgroup/list for a
"rule-of-thumb".
What is the "optimum" stacking distance for one ham, may or may not be the
optimum stacking distance for another who may have different requirements
due to geographic location, contest operation vs DXing, tower height, or any
other factors that will be taken into account as they (you) create the
requirements document.
A word to the wise ham!

Subject: [TowerTalk] Optimum Stacking Distance
I have been told that there is a formula for the optimum stacking distance
of similar antennas that is based on the antenna boom lengths and other
factors.
If anyone is familiar with this, could they please post the formula?
Tnx & 73
