Default proper antenna installation

Hi all,

I have two omni dipoles @ 2.4Ghz, one positioned for vertical
polarization and the other horizontal. I have stiff coax feeding these
two antennas. The horizontal antenna is above the vertical, and the
coax feeding the horizontal runs pararellel with the vertical antenna
around 2 wavelenghts (24cm) away. My question is will the signal on
the coax leak onto the vertical antenna? I want the two to be as
orthogonal as possible. I'm not really sure on the physics involved
but is there a standard seperation that is required to minimize this
effect or will they always be coupled if I run the lines in this
manner? Thanks for any info,

Kev
