I now have a 40 foot Rohn 25 dedicated for VHF/UHF antennas, Im playing
with SSB on 2 meters and 432 to see what can be done, mostly 2 meters. But
I still want to be able to use vertical for simplex long haul work. I have
2 Yaesu FT-726R radios. One I dedicate for SSB one I dedicate for
FM/Simplex/Repeaters. What I've come up with is this arrangement for the
antennas, I'd love feedback on how to maybe improve, adjust them for better
working.  Hope this diagram shows ok.

#1 = Cushcraft 215B2 15 ele on Vertical
#2 = a 432 Cross beam with vert/horz beams
#3 = Cushcraft DX-120 Colinear 20 element Beam.
