Topband: one-way propagation

[Carl Clawson]

Yes, a good point that I neglected. This entirely circumvents my yammerings
about reciprocity. Reciprocity is a characteristic of a single pair of
ports in a network. Introducing separate receive antennas can surely cause
a one way effect. Consider what happens when I hook up a dummy load as a Rx
antenna ...

I've often thought that some "one-way propagation" is simply due to the
