Vertical above Beam interaction ??
 

I want to mount my 10 meter Vertical directly above my MA5B Mini Beam.
Is there a rule to this. I have about 6-12" above the beam. Can I
expect any interaction. I am thinking not because of the different
polarity's. Can someone elaborate...interested to hear direct from
you. The vertical will have radials.
Thank you

Hi Mike,

Not particularly if the Mini Beam is properly choked (read balanced)
such that the vertical falls within its null(s).

The vertical will have radials.

Well! That certainly threw a spanner into the gears if you mean to
have more than two of them (what's wrong with a vertical dipole?) and
those two aligned with the boom (to observe the null(s)).
