Default PowerFlarm Range Analysis for "WX" - 15M Nats Yreka 2014

You're right, Steve! I was thinking of 1 antenna feeding two receivers.

It doesn't work that way Dan. With two antennas gathering energy from the same surroundings, the effect is primarily an alteration of pattern.

The greater concern might be polarization. PowerFlarm is a vertical polarization system. I'm not exactly sure what TW means by "stripe antenna in the canopy (laterally & slightly behind my head)". That doesn't sound vertical polarized; hopefully I'm just not visualizing that correctly.
