Just in the final planning stages here for my new antenna farm. Consider
that this is on a 55 x 125 foot City lot,  before laughing or suggesting
multiple towers please.
 
My plans are to install a 50' Super Titan S300 tower with the following
antennas:
            - Optibeam OB11-5   for 20-17-15-12-10
            - Force12 Delta 240   for 40
            - Optibeam OB6-5     or other 5el 6m 
            - Cushcraft A270-10S  5 element on 2m & 70cm
            - Diamond XN300           Omni for 2m & 70cm
 
The question is how to effectively stack the beams to minimize
interaction and interference. Using a 20' length of mast leaves about
15' to play with  
 
My first shot at stacking would go like this:
 
            HF beam           2 feet above tower
            40m beam         11 feet above HF beam
            2/70 beam         8 feet above HF beam
            6m beam           5 feet above HF beam 
            2/70 omni          13 feet above HF beam/top of mast
 
Is this reasonable? Suggestions?
