I am seeking some advice, please.
I have bought a rotatable dipole for 30/17/12m. It is about 11m long. I plan to mount it on the same stubmast as my HF beam (Cushcraft A3S) (separate feeders, of course). It would only be about 2 or 3 feet below the A3S.
Do I mount the dipole parallel with the A3S boom or parallel with the A3S' elements? Parallel with the boom would be a nuisance, as the dipole is longer than the boom. But, being parallel with the boom, there should presumably be less inter-action between the two.
I am sure that others have done this. I would welcome any thoughts, please.
Thanks, Ian G4IIY
