Is this practical? HBX only goes up to 56 feet -- unless you're talking
VHF or possibly 10m monobanders, there may not be too much benefit in
stacking beams at this height -- the lower antenna may be too low to do
much, if any, good.
I'd also be concerned about the load-handling capability of HBX. With
two antennas, wouldn't it be overloaded?
