Jerry I don't think that you will be able to faze those dual band antennas 
the reason being that UHF beams would take a different spacing than a VHF 
one will.  Might be nice to try but I just don't see it working well.

Subject: Stacked arrays on VHF & UHF


I have 2 CushCraft dual-band, 5-element yaggies for VHF & UHF that I'd like
to use for satellite work. Does anyone have any experience with stacked
arrays of this type? Any ideas where I might obtain accessible material on
how to optimize stacked, dual-band antennas? Any suggestions on this would
be much appreciated.

Also, I have a MFJ antenna analyzer, the 269 to be specific. Although this
analyzer provides for UHF measurements, it does not have a pick-off for RF
which I need for my MCount morse-code frequency reader. Anyone have any
ideas on how I might gain access to the RF output of the analyzer without
significantly influencing readings, especially for UHF?

Thanks to anyone who has advice on these matters.
