Default Question about mounting aeriels.

Dark Angel has brought this to us :
I'm helping a friend install some new TV aeriels, he's got a couple of these

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...27265&id=33455

Of course if I try to install them on the same pole, the lower aerial is
going to have the pole poking between the elements.

Any reason why I can't put the fixing bracket (shown underneath on this pic)
on the side of the aerial so it will keep the elements out of the way of the
pole (obviously I'd also alter the V bolt so the elements were still
horizontally polorized)?


That method would seriously degrade the reception. You can either mount
them on two completely separate masts, or use a U shaped pole adaptor
so they mount on one mast but side by side.
