Ask any trucker about a co-phased cb antenna system....same principal

My understanding of that setup is that the two cophased whips need to
be a quarter wavelength apart in order for it to work properly,
although I may have been misinformed.

However, if this is correct, it's gonna be tough to find a vehicle
that will let you separate two cophased whips by a quarter wavelength
at 80 meters - and driving it down most city streets would probably be
quite an experience even if you could find one that large. (Maybe the
tractor that moves the space shuttle from the vehicle assembly
building to the launch pad...top speed is slower than most folks can
walk, though)
