Ok, thanks Bob.  Seems to be a broad array of opinions about 
this, but you and John seem to think it's alright if the dipole 
and vertical have to be fairly close together.  Thanks, Jim

I have the same situation and it doesn't seem to have any effect 
on either
antenna.

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
