The minimum separation between the UHF and H-VHF would be about 3', more is better but after about 5' there's very little interaction.

There's not a hard fast rule re. which antenna should be on...

Unfortunately, no. A Multimeter or DVM is going to apply DC (0 Hz) to the devise when measuring resistance. The antenna operates in the 50 to 700 MHz range... A DVM does not.

An RF impedance...

If your goal is maximum gain, yes you need to eliminate the combiner losses to the extent possible. However, simply combining side by side antennas can give you a more directional antenna regardless...

Perhaps the easiest way to describe a practical low loss combiner is to simply have you look at a panel style UHF antenna. The DB4e is just as good an example as any... In the case of the DB4e, they...

Ahhhh...

Consider, if both antennas receive identical amounts of power and then deliver equal signal power to their respective combiner ports, the combiner is being driven with twice as much power...

I would err on the side of caution, measure from the bottom most part of the upper antenna to the upper most part of the lower antenna.

The reflector and metallic structure of one antenna can have...
