The highest nearest structure is my 40 foot wind up lattice work steel mast. It would be most convenient to have the vertical element at this corner. How far away from the steel mast should the vertical element be to not have issues please? I strap the window line feeder at the base to form the vertical so I can also use the horizontal loop on HF bands.
