[TowerTalk] Contemplating 80m Antenna Above Steppir

[Edward Sylvester]

> I currently have a Steppir 3 element yagi with 30/40m
> "trombone."  I am so impressed with the add on
> kit that I now want to put a rotatable 80m dipole above the
> Steppir (5 feet above).  I will likely choose the Create
> CD78, as that's the largest I could install, given my
> city lot.
>  
> Most install the 80m dipole to run parallel to the yagi
> boom, to avoid interaction.  I would prefer not to do
> this.  Is this still an issue, given that the Steppir is
> adjustable??  Is it the yagi's pattern that is most
> affected or simply the SWR?  Your opinions are most
> welcome.
