Joe the increase in gain comes from narrowing the beam width.
If you stack them vertically the vertical beam width is narrowed. Stack
them side by side
to narrow the horizontal beam width. Vertical stacking distance is 26".
Horizontal 28".
I have seen recommendations for slightly smaller stacking distances of 24"
and 26" but
I believe the wider spacing is better. M2 shows even tighter spacing for
their current
22 el yagis but their splitter is based on out of phase mounting of the
antennas so it
wouldn't apply here.
