Hi Les --

Here's a great page of information on that very subject. It turns out that you 
can place them closer than most people think.

I've stacked them really close for roving, and had some 6m vs 2m issues. I 
tried quarter-wave coax traps with some success. The best solution was two 
separate masts for 6 and 2. At 100w, the problem went away.
