was wondering not sure if this has been beat to death, but lets say my 103c is flat and i put the Macov5000 about a foot above on the same mast and rid the v5000 of the ground radials, now would the v5000 use the flat 103c as a good groundplane or would it just mess with the pattern..i thought ive heard that this might work but has anyone ever tried it
 

it would use the yagi as a ground plane, you may have to adjust the vertical for best impedance match
