[UK-CONTEST] Fw: HF Beam/WARC dipole on same mast

[G3SXW]

> Ian,
> My WARC dipole is parallel with the elements of the tribander. Originally 
> it was parallel with the boom - no discernible inter-action either way. 
> But it is about six feet above the KT34A. Your '2 or 3 feet' sounds a bit 
> close for comfort. Maybe use a longer stub-mast?
> If it's parallel with the boom it's a pain to always add/deduct 90 degrees 
> in your head !
> Good luck - 73 de Roger/G3SXW.

>> I am sure that others have done this.  I would welcome any thoughts,

>> Thanks, Ian G4IIY
