if i put a antron on a 50 foot tower with a 15 foot push up pole could i put a set of 4 element macos horizontal right under the antron i say at least a foot or would i have to go down more than that so i could run antennas on the same tower

Putting a horizontal yagi or two under an Antron will not harm either antenna's performance at all. In fact, you may help the Antron a little.

Getting the boom of the yagi as close to the base of the Antron as possible would be best.

The M104 will act as a ground plane for the antron.

okay good answer but, ihave a99 on 4 sections of tower with tv ant about 4 inches above tower and a99 about 1 foot above that. can i put my 104 under the tv ant? if so how much spacing would it need between tower top/ tv ant bottom? (mounted horizontal).

About 18 feet but you must really want to put your tvi filter to the test I forsee massive front-end over load in your tvs future,my father-in-laws tv ant. was seperated by 18 feet vert. and 30 feet horiz. and his super scanner was vert.MASSIVE over load.Put your tv ant. directly under the 104 with the a-99 on top,but if your 104 is horiz. overload,overload.

it would have to be horizontal. tv doesn't matter. the setup is in/at my garage, i'll either watch tv or talk radio. the a99 tears it up anyway. i thought since i already have the beam, i 'd put it up flatside for NET skip, otherwise i don't need it.
