Hello Towertalk 

I’ve been considering installing multiple triband Yagis (interlaced element 
types, say 4/4/8) at my QTH to be able to switch directions quickly or power 
split in multiple directions. Installation heights can be between 50-120’ and 
the towers are between 100-200’ apart. Some time ago ISTR Frank W3LPL saying 
this arrangement would need careful modelling (maybe it was on a CTU 
presentation) but I’ve not been able to find this information since. 

Unfortunately the towers are crank ups so a more traditional stack would be a 
lot more complex and prevent me from lowering the towers until I could remove 
the lower antennas with a cherry picker. 

Also, does anybody have interlaced type triband Yagis models that they can 
share?

I’m interested to hear any thoughts or experiences.

Thanks 

Jack GW8DX
