Come on MrS, how about a response?

Ah well, seein' as MrS's is just plain full of it, and can't answer what would seem to be a rather simple question, then maybe somebody else out there can tell us what might be expected to happen when two antennas are close together...and thus affecting their performance somehow, for good or for bad?

I hear plenty of you guys complain about this issue of comparing antennas side by side, and I would just like to know how you tell or how do you know that something good/bad is happening in such cases.

I've tested and compared most of my CB vertical antennas at my location and I see very little difference when mounted side by side or mounted alone at either mount. The only difference I notice at times is one location shows a bit more noise than the other, and even that is not always noticeable on my radio's signal meter, even when I can hear a little difference.

If you have ever complained about someone using side by side testing, it would seem to me that you have some bases for your contentions for what happens, or else you've just been parroting some CBBS words on a restroom wall at truck stop somewhere.
