Carsten,
I can't give you specific spacing for the A4S/A3WS but I can give you
suggested spacing for the X7/A3WS+A103. In a recent review in RadCom
with the A3WS mounted 12 feet above the X7 there was very little
interaction between the beams. At 4 foot spacing there was considerable
interaction with the X7 on 28MHz but little if any change on 14 and
21MHz. For mechanical strength, a good compromise spacing seemed to be
about 8 feet with little effect on either beam. I would suggest that
this would be the spacing to aim for if at all possible with your set up
and 6 feet as a minimum.
