One of the best working repeaters I have run across was located on the
outskirts of Ft Worth Texas on a 1000 ft tower. It used a single receive
antenna at 1000 ft into a down converter that output on 10 meters. Several 10
meter receivers were connected to the RG-58 downlead in the radio room at the
bottom of the tower. Each transmitter used a separate antenna at 500 ft and it
was one of the best coverage repeaters for the flatlands that I have seen. I
could reliably work it from 90 miles away with my mobile GE Prog.
Vertical split antennas can work very well indeed.

Have chance to install a DB 224 at 450' and another one anywhere below
it. Using LDF6 on both runs. RF solid state 110 watts out. Wanting to know the
pros or cons of running both antenna close together for more height with
duplexer or spacing antennas for isolation without duplexer?
