Your comment brings up a good question, as a general rule,
does stacking yagis typically result in a lower overall F/B
of the array? I wouldn't think so. If done correctly array
gain goes up and I expect array F/B to also improve.

I found that my 2 high and 4 high stacks suffered in the F/B area. However,
my QTH was in FL so F/B was not much of a problem, since the back was
usually Africa, VK/ZL and South America....not all that much of a problem for
signals off back of a stack, and sometimes very handy for a juicy mult to call
in.
The same will be true in KH6 with my new station...not much off the back
when facing JA, W or EU.
