I have two multiband trap verticals They are not exactly the same,
but close. Obviously they're intended to be mounted vertically above
a ground.

What happens if I mount them horizontally, base-to base? If I feed
one with coax as designed, would it see the other one as a
counterpoise? Could I remove any base matching components and feed
them both with a 1:1 balun, in effect duplicating the function of a
horizontal wire trap dipole?

Will water drain from the traps in their new configuration?
