I think you should be more concerned about Chromstar UHF preamp overload from strong local TV and FM signals than antenna spacing.

Thanks again I appreciate and learn from everything you mentor me on, With that said I have removed the chromstar and put up a 777 I am a little confused on your concern on the chrome star as it is only a UHF preamp and my two closes stations 13 which is 3 miles away and is VHF but it doesn't overload it sits at about 91 Now the station next to it which is UHF 20.1.2.3.4.5 it doesn't over load either sits at about 91
