I have an OB16-3 17 feet above a CAL AV 2-el 40 and experienced
ZERO interaction, so it's clearly more an issue with the antenna
choices than the separation.

I have a Force 12 C3 and XM240 on the same tower.  They are separated by 15 feet.  The interaction was bad enough so that I had to turn them 90 degrees from each other. I would say that you can do it but the separation should be significant. Maybe 20-30 feet.

I have a 135 ft rotating tower.
I am wanting to put a 5 element 15 meter beamon a 36 ft boom and a 3 element
40 meter beam on a 46 ftboom on the same tower.

How much space is need between them? Or is this just not a good idea to start with?
