I doubt that I'd be transmitting at the same time.....but the issue may be monitoring.
will having the antennas in such close proximity (2 ft) cut down on the recieving ability?
We were posting about the same time... reference my previous post, would recommend horizontal spacing that avoids resonant distances (any 1/4 wave multiple) between the antennas on any frequency that is in use, and as far as is practical. Would suggest at least 5/8 wave on 2m/VHF high band (~50 inches) as an example.
I was thinking of making a "Y" shaped topper for my mast.....and on the end of each point.....having a different antenna.
I will have them all insulated from the mast pole.
Why? A bad idea for grounding.
How should I route my cables?......twisted around the pole or straight run?
Twisting is irrelevant... install them however works best for you.
Thanks for all your help folks.....I'm sorry for all the novice questions.....but this is the best resource I've found for my mind set.
