It seems to me what your asking here is how much
crosstalk you would see between two Beverage
antennas. How about just using a signal source and
exciting one beverage while listening on the other.
This could be a most enlightening measurement not only
for the ground rods but for the placement of the antennas
themselves. An MFJ 259 generates quite a signal and
could be used to excite an antenna while listening to the
other. One could also feed the MFJ 259 directly into the
receiver first to get a reference level. Be sure and check
that the MFJ259 does not put out too large a signal and
could damage your RX first! The ratio of the two levels
would indicate the crosstalk whether it is from the ground
posts or antennas.
Aren't they both just as bad?
