      Sounds good to me.

     I've seen them stacked with as little as 6-7 feet between them.  The
biggest thing you'll see as they get closer together is that the SWR's will
go up they get closer.  I don't have any idea what's happening to the
pattern.

     My favorite trick with the (stupid) aluminum boom support for the 402CD
is to mount it UNDERNEATH the antenna.  Much easier to install and you can
push the boom up higher than you would otherwise.
