Hi, Tom --

      Welcome back & tnx for your comments.

      I have a question. For mast windloading purposes, I'm contemplating 
mounting a F12 230/240 on the top of the mast with 12 foot spacing to the 5BA 
five-bander below it. Any (significant) problems with this proposed 
configuration? My question has more to do with the bigger antenna 'shadowing' 
the lower antenna than the actual spacing distance (should be okay according 
to F12).

Cheers,  Steve   K7LXC
