I have two 2-meter antennas, a copper J-Pole and a Hy-Gain VB-25FM. The J-Pole is my all-around antenna, what I use for general 2-Meter meter stuff like connecting to my local repeaters using my main 2-meter radio. The VB-25FM will be used to establish a connection to a specific ham that lives across town from me to play around with digital modes on a different radio.

My thinking was it would be great if I could mount the VB-25FM mid-way up the mast, and then mount the J-Pole on the very top. Would this work, or is it a bad idea?

Thanks.
