      A C-4 and C-3 stack is officially approved by the factory. The
suggested stacking distance is 30 feet so it sounds feasible for his 60 foot
tower.

    The distance is way too close for a stack on 40M so the C-4/C-3 combo is
the one. BTW, the WX0B stackmatch is the way to go for phasing the two
antennas.
