Stacking narrows the vertical beamwidth , baying the horizontal, recommend stacking.

3m above highest point?

is this a Wales rule?

I only ask because here in Yorkshire, nothing is to go above the ridge tiles without planning. The 3m rule is for free standing items, and from the ground.

If I am wrong, then i will stand corrected.

Geoff,
For Tropo Stacking is recommended
Meteor Scatter Stack,
Reducing TVI Stack.

Baying two yagis is ideal when tilt is required (elevation)
ie Satellite or EME work.

Which ever way you go the beamwidth will reduce by approx 50%
(assuming you optimise the stacking distance)
Two bayed yagis working on Tropo would give a very narrow
Horizontal beamwidth of around 15 deg, not ideal
Making the system really rather sharp.

Stack two yagis and the horizontal beamwidth will stay the same
(about 30 deg) but the vertical beamwidth will be reduced by 50%
Ideal for forward scatter modes such as troposcatter.
The very mode I guess you are interested in.

Geoff,
Have a careful look at the 14
Not sure how strong it is, I saw the 14 xpol version at a show a couple of years ago, it looked like an explosion in an umbrella factory.
I would not have trusted it at my site @ 680ft ASL
