[Towertalk] Interaction of Verticals

[mwdink@eskimo.com]

Hello All

I am looking at putting up two verticals as spare antennas
on the 40m and 80m. These are meant to be something for 
use in SO2R, a multiplier radio, or just another choice 
in a growing antenna menu.

What's the feeling on how close I can mount two separate 
verticals without interaction? These would probably be 
full size 1/4 wave antenna's and I hope to be able to 
put 18-24 inches between them. Only one would be used at a 
time.

If there is a problem with interaction, what if detune 
the vertical not being used?
