Well, one thing is for sure. If you put them 100 feet apart you would have
no interaction. If you put them 4 or 5 feet apart, you don't know what will
happen. So, logically you would put them as far apart as you possibly can.

Wow, seems like there are as many answers to this as there are
hams on the list. If I had the room, I would do just that, get
them far apart. Thanks and 73, Jim WA6EKS

4 to 5 feet is awfully close, so I would urge you to get them as
far apart
as possible.

Mine runs about that far from my vertical and the vertical was
there before
the dipole, I can't say I noticed any difference at all. In fact
mine might
be closer, more like 3 feet. As long as they don't touch, where
the dipole
is horizontal and vertical is, well, vertical, it shouldn't be
any problem.
Like I said, I don't have any problem here, I know others who
have done the
same thing and not had any problem.

Subject: Antenna questions
Hello list. I have some Antenna questions. I have a multi-band
dipole antenna that I am using for 10 through 80 meters. I want
to put up a vertical antenna that will work on 10 through 20 or
maybe 40 meters. Am not sure about it's coverage because
someone
gave the vertical to me and I don't have an accessible manual.
Anyway, my question is that, when the vertical is up, the dipole
will cross the plain of the vertical maybe 4 to 5 feet from the
vertical. Do any of you folks think there will be any
significant adverse interaction between the dipole and vertical.
Should I try to locate the vertical farther from the dipole? Am
pretty restricted on options. Thanks for your comments and 73,
Jim WA6EKS
