Default Probably a stupid question, but...

Anyone have any idea as to the probable performance characteristics of two
whip 40" whip antennas mounted approx. six inches apart, and used for
receiving shortwave, primarily between 6 MHz and 12 MHz? Would they be more
receptive to a signal approaching f/b, as opposed to s/s? Just wondering...
Hoping someone can offer some advice as to whether they would be in any way
directional.


They would be directional at the frequency where
6 inches is 1/8 wavelength. :-)
