Hi Jamie,

Yes! For the past 22 years on my 100' Rohn 45 tower, I have used a 5L HG105CA at the top of a 14' Chrommoly mast with a 5L HG155CA 9' below it on the same mast - both turned by a HyGain T2X. I use two TB3 thrust-bearings.

I live on a small lot, 80x180, in a subdivision....I have a 50ft tower

2L about 7 ft above the tribander.....BUT......my current SO2R setup
I'm using a Hytower as the second antenna.....the rigs are a 7610 and
7300.....I have 5B4AGN bandpass filters on both rigs.....I'm already
having interference issues between the rigs now, so I think moving a
second antenna to the same mast is asking for more trouble. Just
wondering if anyone uses 2 antennas on the same mast for SO2R? Also,
is the 7300 maybe a problem? I heard that radio generates a lot of
phase noise on TX, not so good in SO2R applications. Anyway, planning
for some tower maintenance this summer, and looking for suggestions on
optimizing the station for SO2R....
