I have a 50' crank up tower that I am going to mount my maco shooting star and a horizontal Force12 antenna to . Has anybody looked at interaction between antennas and how far to keep them apart and also if they need to be a certain minimum distance above the tower? Thanks |

I don't know what those antennas are, but usually, spacing beams on a tower is best done at 1/4 to 1/2 wave lengths apart at the lowest freq.

You can mount the shooting star just a foot or so above the tower. It works ok with the vertical elements extended down over the tower. I'm not familiar with the horizontal force 12 antenna but the shooting star has horizontal elements also.
