Marconi, I'm disillusioned. I thought you believed in Santa Claus. I do. I saw him at the maul and read it on the internet.

Seriously, now what I do really believe is there is a potential interaction between too close antennas. After all, we rely on this for the construction of  Yagi, and other sympathetic arrayed antennas, etc, to accomplish the goals  that we set by doing so. In those cases there are measurable/observable differences in before and after performances. And I believe you also expect that there are near field influences upon antenna radiation propagation.

So I am assuming you are asking for those who continue to play down your efforts to come up with some empirical/anecdotal data to support the expected interactions of near together/less than a wavelength from each other antennas showing how these interactions were experienced.

If so, then I'd say it would require someone who has measured antenna response before and after doing singly mounted antennas and A - B setups toward that end. To your credit I will say that you are the only one offering any data on this forum that could be looked at for that empirical information, although it was not specifically toward this end that you were doing the tests both ways.

Did you ever hear the old proverb that more flies are caught with honey than vinegar? No? Never mind.
