I recently installed a 6-meter yagi with a 12' boom... 6-1/2 feet above a
5-element 10-meter yagi with a 24' boom. The 10-meter yagi continued to work
great but the performance of the 6-meter yagi was terrible. While the SWR of
the 6-meter antenna was about the same... the gain, side rejection, and
front-to-back were way down from normal. After one weekend I took the
6-meter yagi down. The 6-meter yagi works well when located by it's
lonesome.

<< Bruce, I have done the same here with NO problems. I have a Mosley PRO-57
and about 4 years ago I wanted to put my 5 element 6 Meter M2 over it. I
very carefully ran a SWR curve on the PRO-57 then put the 6 Meter Beam about
6 feet above it.
I then ran the SWR curve on the PRO-57 again and absolutely NO change.
All works good here. Good luck on your project.
