So for a well-designed HF antenna, boom length geneally is not related to
"how narrow the original pattern is" ?

So you see, stacking distance has absolutely nothing to do with 
boom length! Optimum stacking distance is a function of how 
narrow the original pattern is....or where the minor lobes are that 
you want to get rid of. 

<   >

Stacking distance relates only to how wide the individual antenna 
patterns are (over earth), and if you want high gain or good side 
lobe suppression (you can't normally get both). The narrower each 
antennas pattern, the wider stacking distance becomes. It has 
nothing at all to do with boom length.
