You can stack them, but the interaction defeats the purpose of having
monobanders. I just ran through a modeling cycle with my stack and the 15m
especially gets whacked. The hex beam or a single tribander is a great idea
in this context. And here we are not considering the proximity of the
ground or the house.

I remember Lew McCoy writing an article in QST 40 years ago saying that you
could stack 10,15, and 20 meter beams about 3 feet apart. Then this was
debunked a few years later. Even Lew acknowledged this to be true.
The best bet is to get one of the Hex beams on that tri-pod. You can get
the regular 10, 15, and 20 if you are mostly a contester or add WARC bands
plus 6 if you are a DXer. Most of the hex beams are light and can be
rotated with a small Ham M type rotor or HD TV type.
