Subject: stacking yagis - benefits?


>Never having operated stacked yagis, I have no experience to answer the
>following questions concerning operating when multiple yagis are connected
>in parallel.
>
>1.  If a yagi at 40' and a yagi at 70' are simultaneously driven, is the
>power being fed to each yagi reduced by one half?  Then the radiation at
the
>major elevation angle is also reduced by one half?
>
>2.   Radiation at the 40' and 70' elevation angles, when simultaneously fed
>will be less at each of those
>angles than if only one yagi is fed?  This is because the radiation from
the
>other elevation angle is not enough to make up for the one half power lost
>at the other radiation angle?
>
>3.  Radiation at angles between  the 3 db down angle  of the 40' &  and the
>3db down angle of the 70' elevation angles will be increased up to a
maximum
>of 3db? if both yagis are fed over that of either
>yagi if only one is fed?
