Hi All
Wonder if you can help me
I'm going to be putting up 2 FM8's temporarily on a big pole in the back garden
However I'm having trouble finding any information on spacing and coax length
Basically my thoughts are I have the 2 beams on a horizontal pole to put both beams on side by side
Like this

I cut the pole down so the beams are at both ends.
And as these are direct feed I can add the coax to the 2 feed points on the left antenna and attach it to the 2 feed points on the right antenna which is where the main coax to the radio is also attached.
The beams are going to be Horizontally polarized. So a few question from this
1. Will that work ??
2. How far apart do I need the beams
3.How much coax between the 2 feed points do I need
4.And as they are horizontally polarized on a horizontal pole.
Would it throw the antenna pattern out unless i use a 2 vertical poles to rest it higher and out the way
Thanks
Will
