[TowerTalk] 6M yagi above a tribander

[N1BUG]

It may depend on the particular 6m antenna. That said and for what it's 
worth...

I had a 7 ele 6m (homebrew 33 foot boom) 5 feet above a TH11DX for 
several years. SWR on both the TH11 and 6m were unaffected compared to 
either alone on the tower (yes I have used both alone on the tower to be 
able to make that statement). I am sure there had to be some effect on 
pattern but I was unable to notice it compared to either antenna alone 
on the same tower.

73,
Paul N1BUG
