Thanks very much for the info-with regard to your last point, I got the following suggestion from someone and I was curious to hear what you and others think of it:
Construct a single mast with the following antennas(starting from the bottom):
VHF Low - Antennacraft Y5-2-6 - Fixed below the rotor aimed at WPVI
VHF High - Winegard YA-171 - On rotor
UHF - Two Antennas Direct 91XGs - On rotor
The VHF stations are all in the green or red range and should be easily pulled in by this setup. Still, I need all the gain I can get in order to try to reliably bring in WNYW and other NY stations. Will combining the 91XGs get me there? Should they be stacked or mounted side by side? I've seen both configurations but don't know the pros and cons of each. Finally, how much spacing will the VHF Low, VHF High, and UHF antennas need and what would I be looking at for total mast height assuming that the lowest antenna (the Antennacraft Y5-2-6) is mounted 30' AGL?
