I'm running out of usable antenna mounting space here and was wondering 
if anyone has tried to do the folloing and with what results :

1. Superimpose a complete set of DB420 elements with the harness on a 
DB224 antenna mast, where both antennas arrays were active and each fed 
by its own rptr./duplexer.  The elements on each band would be offset 
90 degrees from each other. 

2. Split a DB420 and feed the top half and bottom half independently 
with separate feedlines,rptrs and duplexers.  I realize I would lose 
some antenna gain (9.2 Db to 6 Db) and some filter cavities for each 
system might be required. 

3. Super impose a second set of DB420 elements, with independet feed 
line, on an existing DB420 antenna, but offset 90 degrees from the 
original set.    

If combining antennas as posed above is practical then I could gain 
additional space for 1 or more additional rptr's. or at least I could 
make the site look a little less cluttered. 

Thanks in advance for any constructive comments.
