I think I’ll go with the separate downleads as I’ll already be up there to run one and two isn’t that much more expense or effort. It allows for future expansion.

I might have been a bit unclear as far as my cell booster plans. The antenna would occupy the same mast but the booster would be inside the cabin and on the opposite wall. 15 feet of separation should be good enough?

Ironically the combiner on Antennas Direct can’t be shipped to Alaska but the antennas can. I’ll have to have it shipped to my parents and pick it up later this month.
