Dear Netters:
I have a question about coupling two antennas together.  I have a
Channel Master Monitenna and a 5 element Radio Shack FM Stereo
antenna.  I also have a 30 dB gain Cometic mast mounted preamp.
I want to mount both of these antennas on the same mast, and
connect them both to the preamp, so I can utilize the same 
lead in wire.  What are the rules of the game for doing something
like this?  Is there any special device I'll need, like a coupler
or something?   Any specific distance apart, or length of connecting
cable?  
Thanks for any ideas you can spare.
