[TowerTalk] Stacking yagis

Stacking is one way to go for VHF bands, if there is enough mast and 
tower capacity.  My question is stacks versus interlaced yagi's.

There are several commercial choices of 2m/70cm yagi's interlaced on one 
boom, but I've been unable to find a 6m/2m interlaced antenna.  Since 
these bands are the biggest constraint of stacking aperatures, it seems 
to me that a long boom (e.g. 20' +) 6m/2m would be a very useful 
antenna.  Perhaps there are interaction problems that don't happen for 
the 2m/70cm or what?

Inputs appreciated.
