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?
