He was probably conducting a mutual impedance measuring test to see which
one would out couple the other.

That's really just one antenna with six feedpoints.

"Me" is an alias for a well know Radioman/FCC Field Agent, who is
nearing the end of his natural life, but finds time to kabitz here in
NewsGroups....

but, yours didn't have Phased Verticals, with electronic steering, and
a Right/Left meter just above the steering wheel to guide you in on the
signal....

You're right, mine was a Hudson with a loop DF and Hallicrafters SX-27 and
SX-28 receivers. There had to be a somewhat intelligent brain connecting the
DF to the steering wheel. Did you drive your car during the time the NDO and
RID existed? I was a charter member beginning in 1940. My wife-to-be
disseminated more than 500 invitations to join from her FCC office in
Washington as an assistant to George E. Sterling, then Chief Engineer of the
FCC.

If well-known Radioman/FCC Agent is so well known how come I don't know him?
I can't believe you're gonna give away any Home Security secrets by tossing
your anonomity cloak. How about coming clean with us?

Or seen a San Antonian cop drive by with 17 tiny aeraels sticking up
from his cruiser roof, looking like a dead cockroach.

Those guys must use a lotta radios...
