Default Feeding 2 VHF Yagis from one coax?

I have a temporary tower set up with a 6M yagi on it. I'd like to add a
2M yagi. Is it possible to feed the two antennas with one feedline
similar to feeding multiple HF antennas with one feedline?



Coax from Shack RG-8 RG-8
=========================T============2M Yagi
I
I RG-8
I
6M Yagi

So basically, I would add a T connector at the 6M Yagi and run another
piece of RG-8 from the T to the 2M Yagi (the T connector would have a
male PL-259 on one port connected directly to the 6M Yagi, the other 2
ports are female UHF and one would be connected to coax from shack and
the other would have the jumper to the 2M antenna). Now the $64K
question...should the run of RG-8 from the T to the 2M be a certain
length, such as 1/4 or 1/2 Wavelength at one of the bands and if so
which band? i.e., 1/2 wavelength at 6M or 1/4 wavelength at 2M, etc.
Both antennas use a gamma match as the feed, so the short section of
coax seems like it might be perceived as a open-ended stub attached to
the 6M antenna??? This is for high speed meteor scatter, so I'm not
overly concerned if the antenna patterns get a bit screwed up...
