Looking at getting the telescoping mast that I
purchased at the Oklahoma State convention last
weekend put up.  It will have the mini quad on the
top, which will put the antenna at about 40 feet or
so.  Here is my question:  The best place to mount the
mast housewise will put it near the roof mount that
will have the 2 meter and 70cm antennas on it.  The
mini quad will be about 10 feet higher than those
other antennas, so interactions between the antennas
should not be a problem.  However, the mast will still
be there.  It will probably be 8 to 10 feet away from
the antennas when they are pointed due north or south.
 Is this too close to the other antennas, causing
interaction and other nasty effects?  Any advice would
be helpful.

p.s. see everyone next weekend in the UHF contest
