2 meter/70cm on same boom,same feed?

[bigloudvtwin]

Hi all.
I built a 4 ele 2 m yagi from an old tv antenna. Is there a way to add 70cm 's to it and utilize the same feed point (I can move it obviously)? I've seen dual banders but they had separate feeds. I really don't want 40 lbs of LMR 400 on the same mast. (JK LOL) 73

Have a good look at the Cushcraft A270-10. It is a dual bander with five rlements on each band and a single feedline. The two feedpoints are connected with a coaxial TEE connector. The lengths of cable going from the TEE to each antenna has to be the proper length however. It can be done but it isn't really the best idea. If I can find my A270-10 I will measure the lengths.

Thanks Cpt. I agree with not having both on same "tenna" after some research. I built a 70 cm yag from scratch "mostly". I'm positive the coax will weigh at least 10 times the antenna since I plan on using LMR400 or RG8U because of high losses at vhf. Can't wait to try them out. Just passed my tech test on sat and waiting for database to show my call sign!
