Hi Ed,
>From Nevada back in the late 90s, I did this with 4 x 3.2 wavelengths
on 144 on a 13' x 13' H frame and 4 x 5wl on 432 the inside of that at
their optimum spacing.
I sure they interacted to a degree as my ability to hear on 144 seemed
reduced a bit.
But unlike most people I have a different take...
If you only have one H frame and what to try 2 bands on it... WHY NOT!
Its better to be on two bands with a slight degradation, than not.
We all do the best we can with what we got and if only one H Frame
is available then by all means add 432 and if you can live with the affects
on 2M so be it. Everything we do in life is a compromise between one
extreme or another and you just need to figure out for yourself what your
willing to live with.
if I hadn't opted for dual band operation I would have missed out on hundreds
of Qs on 432 EME as well as Oscar 10 and 13 as they both were flying back
then. You haven't lived until you operated OSCAR with an antenna that hears
deep into the noise while needing less than 10W on the uplink.

I want to put up ONE H Frame on my
tower, well above my HF antenna.
What kinds of negative effects might I experience if I put
up a 4 bay of 2m H Polarized antennas and 4 Bay of 432 H
Polarized antennas on the same H Frame?
Some say it's ok while others, not so much.
Thoughts appreciated.
73,
