Steve,
Double Bazooka by K4ABT link is actually the 5grv antenna.

Reason the K4ABT Double Bazooka looked (past tense) like a G5RV is because I had the wrong information posted – thank you for letting me know. 73, steve

Steve:
I listen to you almost every day on the 3 pm net. I live in South Austin but am in Coppers Cove frequently to visit my daughter. About a month ago I think we had a conversation about where the Cove repeater was located. I did find its location.
I have a pretty hardcore HOA and I plan to mount 3 Yagis (2m, 70cm, and 1.25m) on a telescoping mast. The mast is 33 feet tall but I’m restricted from it rising about the crest of the roof. The question I have is would it be best to stack them and if so how far apart do they need to be? Or could I put a couple on a crossbar? Anyway I figured that you would be a good resource.

I would use a cross bar and not worry a whole bunch about side to side spacing. Cushcraft makes a dual band 2m/440 – 5 ele Yagi with both on the same boom – 2M elements on one side of the boom, and 440 elements on the other side of the boom – and a TEE section of cables so both bands share the same coax cable… 73, steve
