[TowerTalk] Antenna Interactions

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Personally I would put the 40m under whatever else you want to put up.  They
sag quite a bit, especially if you get any ice.  And they need a boom brace
attached to the mast.  If they are the bottom antenna you can put more
antennas above their boom brace, otherwise you need to have a longer mast
just to attach the boom brace.
