[TowerTalk] Stacking a 2L 40M and Tribander

[Joe K2UF]

I have a Bencher Skyhawk at about 74 feet and a 2 el 40 beam at 85 feet on
the same tower.  Works very good.  Has withstood some good wind gust and a
lot of ice here in upstate N.Y.

Good luck,

73  Joe K2UF

My tower is a US Tower HDX-555. I'm planning to stack a compact 2L 40
monobander and a larger tribander on the same mast 10' vertically apart.
Which antenna should be on top?

The 2L 40M is lighter and has about half the wind load area of the large
tribander. So mechanically it should be on top. But, will it "shield" the
tribander and degrade its performance?
