And for your comment on the OCFD,
Off-center fed antennas put lots of common mode RF on the feedline,
which is bad news for interaction between stations.
Yes, stubs and bandpass filters can help reduce interference between
stations. So can a better rig -- cleaner TX and more bulletproof RX.
That's why K3s are the current weapon of choice, with rigs like the KX3
and TS590 a decent second place.
Don't even think about bringing an el-cheapo do-everything wonder like
an IC706, FT100D, or newer equivalent Yaesus to FD -- you'll be spewing
trash into all the other stations!
