Actually, on this same vein, I've always wondered what would happen if you
were to feed two identical dipoles with the same feedline. Say North+West
Legs on the braid, and South+East legs on the center pin. Would it resonate
*and* be quad directional, or would it just become some bizarre mess in the
sky? I had a similar type antenna to this cut for 40M (4 1/4 wave legs) fed
with 300 Ohm twin lead when I was a novice. (I didn't know not to do it.)

Are you sure. I tend to take things literally and he asked about "two
separate antennas". Even though multi band the fan dipole to me is one
antenna.
He may have meant something like the fan dipole, but that was not the
way it was worded.
Two individual antennas can be fed with one feed line, but it may get a
bit complicated if bother are not at the same feed point.
