[TowerTalk] Shadowing of small antennas by larger ones?

Read the description carefully. On the C39, the 40 DE is BETWEEN the 15 DE and the 15 reflector, NOT behind the 15 reflector. 

They HAVE had to deal with removing the 21 mhz resonance from the 40 "N" elements. The diagram is at home, but the distance from the 40 DE to the 15 DE on the same boom is a LOT less than the vertical mast separation the original poster proposed between the separate antennas.
