Assuming your tower is vertical, your Yagi is horizontally polarized
and the diameter of the tower is much less than 1/4 wave, the tower
will have negligible effect on the Yagi's tuning and pattern.

Dear Group,

     I don't think I've ever seen any information on how a tower effects an HF 
beam's tuning and pattern.  I've never simulated the effect or made any 
measurements myself.  Can anyone tell me what generally to expect if the mast 
is only one or two feet above the tower?  Would a mast 5 or 6 feet higher be 
any better?

Thanks!
