Harry:

Here is the general rule of thumb way to approach this requirement. With the booms aligned, each antenna only "sees" a
lower frequency (larger) antenna. So start at the top with the 2 meter antenna. It needs to be a half wavelength at 2
(~40 inches) from the next thing. And so on to the others. The 6 meter should be about 100 inches from the tribander,
and the tribander doesn't care. It looks mechanically clumsy, but putting the 2 meter half way between the tribander on
the bottom and the six meter on top with the 6 and triband 100 inches apart is close to the best compact arrangement.
