I would not do it for two reasons.

1. Modeling this antenna to avoid f/b problems on 40 is quite complex.

2. The boom is likely not up to the task of additional wind loading.

I would add another boom below the 40.  Design your own dual bander or get a
good multi-monobander like the F12 5BA or XR-5 that covers both 20 and 17.
I think you will need at least 10 feet separation between the two booms for
optimum performance.

Is it possible to add 20m or 17m fullsize elements and interlace them on the
same boom as the  Cushcraft XM240 40meter yagi.( ie. 2 on 40 , 2 on 20 and 2
on 17)  Would this yeald major interaction problems creating/modeling  this
tribander ?

thanks    Gary  VA7YO
