Look into one of the "multi-monoband" antennas like the Force 12
(www.force12inc.com) XR5-T or XR5-TC - two elements per band (20-10)
on a 12 foot boom. See:

You can stack them, but the interaction defeats the purpose of having
monobanders. I just ran through a modeling cycle with my stack and the
15m especially gets whacked. The hex beam or a single tribander is a
great idea in this context. And here we are not considering the
proximity of the ground or the house.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Close stacking mono bander
I remember Lew McCoy writing an article in QST 40 years ago saying that you
could stack 10,15, and 20 meter beams about 3 feet apart. Then this was
debunked a few years later. Even Lew acknowledged this to be true.
The best bet is to get one of the Hex beams on that tri-pod. You can get
the regular 10, 15, and 20 if you are mostly a contester or add WARC bands
plus 6 if you are a DXer. Most of the hex beams are light and can be
rotated with a small Ham M type rotor or HD TV type.
