Maco work with Hy-Gain

Hello to all. I have a question about mounting a bean and 5/8 ground plane.
My rooftop is 32' above ground, I am using 32"x32" non penetrating roof mount with 8 30lb
cinder blocks for support.The mast is a 1/58x10' chain link fence post. Mounted on top will be
a Yeasu 450 rotor. Out of the rotor is a 15/8x4' mast. 12" on mast will be thrust bearing, 12" further
up a Maco 103c beam is mounted and at 4' or top of mast is a Hy-Gain penetrator 500 minus ground rods.
Both antennas will have separate Bury Flex cabeling.

Does this setup sound workable?
Do I need further separation between antennas?

Thanks,
Bob
 

if you take the ground elements off the vertical then mount the vert right above the yagi, let the yagi be the GP, you may need to retune the vert for resonance.
