TopBand: 2el "remote" Parasitic

[Josep]

Have my 25m Top Loaded Vertical around 1/4wvl away from my other 16m high
self-supported tower, with a Cuschraft 4el yagi on top. The line-of-fire is
beaming to about 30 degrees. The 16m tower has not any conection with the
25m one. Iīve been told that my signal in JA is really good, much better
than last year. Also, Iīve worked some countries in the same area with
relative ease. Can this be affected by the 16m tower in-line ..? The TLV has
90 degrees 1/4wvl on 160, but havenīt checked the 16m electrical length yet.
Maybe it is 1/8wvl for 160, should that mean a two element, 1/4wvl and
1/8wvl spaced around 40m each..? Is this some kind of "remote" parasitic
element of the TLV..?

73, Josep
