I would like to ''do this'' because I lack tower space, at present.. I
have a TV antenna that is on a small tower at about 28' , with a tv
rotor. I also have a 6 meter horz ground plane , (you know the one
that looks like a 'pie slice') I would like to add this horz gd plane
to the tower,,,,,,,,, my question is this,,, would I be better off
putting it on top of the Tv antenna or below?, what would be a 'good
spacing' one way or the other (6 on top or 6 below )
I would like to get some use out of the 6 now, because it will be a
while before I get another tower up. $$$
Thanks in advance. cl 73


Sounds to me like you have a PAR Omniangle, not a ground plane. A (vertical)
ground plane antenna is commonly a 1/4 wave or 5/8 wave vertically polarized
antenna with 3 or 4 ground radials. The Omniangle is a horizontally
polarized omni antenna.
If this is the Omniangle keep it 4' or so away from the TV antenna. Expect
some TVI on low VHF channels.
