[TowerTalk] A Question about proper antenna spacing on mast.

Hello Tower Talk group. I have a question about proper antenna spacing.

I have ordered the 3 element Steppir Yagi. I plan to put it on a mast about 
20' in length on a 55' tower. Fifteen feet of the mast will extend above the 
tower thrust bearing.

About five feet above the Steppir I plan to mount a M2 model 2M-CP14, 14 
element circular polarized 2 meter antenna (boom length 10ft 6")

At the top of the mast, five feet above the M2 antenna,  I want to place a 
Comet GP-6 (VHF/UHF colinear)

My question: Is five feet sufficient spacing between these three antennas to 
minimize any interaction with each other.
I specifically want to get the maximum performance from the Steppir that I 
can.


Thanks in advance for your responses.
