Yes, I have a OB16-3 at 70' and an OB40-2 on a 2" mast, 10 feet above the
tribander. I had SWR data at about 20' above ground and noticed no
degradation in the 40m yagi when the 16-el was put in place. There have been
some reports about the square booms coming apart at the joints, but that has
been because the joint interfaces were not properly tightened originally. My
yagi's have been up about six years and so far no problems at all with
either yagi.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Interaction with the Optibeam 16-3
Anyone out there using an Optibeam 16-3 tribander in close proximity to
either an M2 40 4MLLDD or an Optibeam 40 meter Yagi? By close proximity I
mean around 10 feet.
Any interactions noticed, especially 15M resulting in SWR and gain issues.
If so, were you able to resolve them, and how? Any comments would be
appreciated.
