[TowerTalk] Antenna spacing

[K4SAV]

Looks like you have a pretty tall order there. As I calculate it, you 
have about 20 sq ft of antennas to put on a single mast.

Without considering as to whether the antennas will operate properly or 
not, but just placing them on a mast for minimum moment, assuming a 22 
ft mast with 4 ft in the tower (which is kinda sporty), and antennas at 
2 ft, 10 ft, and 17 ft, you would need a mast strength of 150 kpsi to 
survive 70 mph winds with a 1.28 wind gust factor. You can get 100 kpsi 
chrome moly but that's not going to handle it.  This is going to require 
some serious engineering to put these on a single mast. Then there are 
tower and rotator considerations also.

Even if you placed the antennas at 2 ft, 6 ft, and 10 ft, it would max 
out a piece of chrome moly.
