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

[John Muzyka]

I had my Cushcraft AW3 (3ele 17 & 12 Rotary dipole on 30m) about 6' above my 2ele 40m beam both orientated in the same plane, no problems at all, I now have the AW3 above my F12 EF240/230 (2ele on 40m & 30m) without the extended element for 30m at the same spacing with no problem at all.
  Cheers

  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
