At my previous QTH I had a 6 el 10 on a 30' boom at 85' over a 5 el 10 on a 24'
boom at 45' fixed NE  which was one of the best antenna systems into Europe I
have ever used.  In order to have a perfect stack, you need identical
antennas.  If you are going to put 2 monoband beams of any type for the same
band on the same tower you need to pay attention to equal feedline lengths to
keep them in phase or you may end up subtracting rather than adding!
