I have a 60ft. tower with TV antenna I was thinking abour taking the tv antenna off and putting my I-max on top and also putting my 31 ft.6 element beam up with the I-max but now I am having sec. thoughts, maybe I will just put the I-max up with the tv antenna. and just add to my other tower and put the beams up another 30ft. by itself. I have already have the tower. Need some good advice. Wayne CFM158

Are you still using the TV antenna?
Are you mounting your beam Verticle
or flat side?
If your mounting the beam flat side, then
a Imax can be mounted above it on the
same tower.
If your beam is dual polarity or is going
to be mounted verticle then use 2 different
towers.

In that case mount the Imax above your
TV antenna and put beam on a separate
tower.
Good Luck with whatever you decide to
do.
