[TowerTalk] 80 mtr dipole spacing above Steppir

[navydude1962 at yahoo.com]

This is an offshoot of a previous thread.  I currently have an 80m rot. Dipole five feet above my steppir and parallel to the boom.  

I want to raise the 80m dipole about 15' above and have it parallel to the steppir elements.  Would look cleaner.  Good or bad idea?  Steppir would be at 70' and dipole at 85'.

Pls advise.  Thanks.

?Bob,

I have a D40 sitting about 5 feet above my Tennadyne T-6 on a TX-455 tower. 
The D40 elements are parallel to the T-6 elements and I have not detected 
any issues with either antenna.  The D40 is at 60 feet and delivers 
outstanding performance.

73,

I have been looking though the archives
in tower talk for info and haven't found anything as yet about my spacing 
question.
I also emailed Force 12 but haven't received a response yet.
I have a Force 12 C3 and just acquired a used Cushcraft D40 rotatable dipole 
for 40 meters.
I want to mount the 40 meter dipole above the C3 on the same mast.  I would 
like to know
the minimum spacing to avoid interaction and also if I should orient the 
dipole so it is
parallel with the boom of the C3.  Anyone have experience with spacing the 
same or similar
antennas ?

thanks,
Bob
