Over the years I've seen lots of postings here about not having
one antenna too close to the other. I know it's given me fits
when trying to orient different antennas for different bands.
While reading an old QST this morning, I was looking at the
results of a VHF contest and saw several antenna configurations.
Some of these VHF/UHF arrays have so many antennas crammed into a
small area on top of a tower that there surely must be some
interaction between them. There are H stacks of 6 meter, with 2,
432, 1296, etc, etc all on the same mast. How do they get away
with that? If we made HF stacks like that, they would never
work. Or at least the computers say they won't. 73
