It would be very important to ensure that there was no coupling between
the
two antennas. None the less a relative measurement between the two
types
of antenna, even at different sites would be very interesting.

The possibility
of transmitting from an ex Decca site is very intresting I would like to
put foreward a suggestion for an experiment.Theory has it that the radiation
pattern for a much shortened vertical is not dependant on height!
Some on this reflector disagree.Would it be possible to radiate say 1w
erp from the 300 foot antenna and the same power from a co-sited
very short vert similar to those being used by many people, if they used
the same ground system all the better.Then by transmitting alternately
from each station we could gather signal reports from many recieving stations
both near and far,for various times of the day.Perhaps
then we could settle this argument once and for all.. 73s Laurie.
