Stacking multiple antennas
The whole page is valuable and probably need to understand most of it but the section labeled:
The Two-Antenna Trick
shows how you can make other antenna patterns with two side by side antenna just by changing the distance and phase between them.
This applies to vertical stacking which you are not doing but interesting if you understand phase combining of RF waves.

Something of an advanced primer on what happens stacking antennas.

Another quality post there Piggie, great links too. I often see
OTA posts that talk about "out of phase" problems with dual antenna setups. Would something like that apply here?
