If you have a VHF 224 just take a DB411 UHF and mount on the opposite side of the mast 180deg from the VHF loops. We do it all the time out here and works great. Just run two coax cables and all is nice and neat. Best of both worlds, you get two antennas on the same mast without using another 10 or so feet of tower space.
There is only one catch, you may want to top support the DB224 antenna since you are adding additional loops.

I've got a DB-224 that is going up the tower in a while when I get the hardline, but control issues have changed from land line to 440mhz control. So I need 2 antennas. Today I saw a hybrid DB antenna, effectively a 224, plus a 16 element DB, all on the same mast. Is this something that can be done without having each antenna interact with the other? Sounds like a good idea to me. Just curious, Thanks, Tim W5FN No virus found in this incoming message.
