I would say If It ain't broke don't fix It. If your not having any problems now
I would leave it alone. I would be Interested in how your set up looks right
now. An 80 meter rotatable dipole above a SteppIR sounds like alot of load.
Just
Interested. Thanks 73 DE K4XZ Joe Patrick

Subject: [TowerTalk] 80 mtr dipole spacing above Steppir
This is an offshoot of a previous thread. I currently have an 80m rot. Dipole
five feet above my steppir and parallel to the boom.
I want to raise the 80m dipole about 15' above and have it parallel to the
steppir elements. Would look cleaner. Good or bad idea? Steppir would be at
70' and dipole at 85'.
Pls advise. Thanks.

?Bob,
I have a D40 sitting about 5 feet above my Tennadyne T-6 on a TX-455 tower.
The D40 elements are parallel to the T-6 elements and I have not detected
any issues with either antenna. The D40 is at 60 feet and delivers
outstanding performance.
73,

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40 mtr dipole spacing above tribander
I have been looking though the archives
in tower talk for info and haven't found anything as yet about my spacing
question.
I also emailed Force 12 but haven't received a response yet.
I have a Force 12 C3 and just acquired a used Cushcraft D40 rotatable dipole
for 40 meters.
I want to mount the 40 meter dipole above the C3 on the same mast. I would
like to know
the minimum spacing to avoid interaction and also if I should orient the
dipole so it is
parallel with the boom of the C3. Anyone have experience with spacing the
same or similar
antennas ?
thanks,
Bob
