[TowerTalk] interaction between 15mono and tribander

[Felipe J. Hernandez]

Yes there are 2 ef515 going on the tower one at 100ft and the other at 70ft
I was thinking of setting up the skyhawk at the 90 ft level.

I think its too close for confort, I would rather not do it, because I may
end up
Messing up the stack and I don't have time to experiment.. the contest is in
a few weeks.

73's

It is probably not a good idea to have two 15m beams so close together.  It 
may work if they are pointing in different directions, perhaps that is what 
you are trying to achieve.  A model will clearly show any interaction.  If 
you want more gain, I would just mount a second Skyhawk lower on the tower 
and phase them, which would also improve your signal on 10m and 20m.

Guys,


How bad will it be in terms of interaction between a tribander (skyhawk) and
a ef-515 5 elem monobander
About 12 feet apart? My concern is that the tribander would mess up the
monobander on 15.
