When my antennas blew down in our last storm,  I just stuck the
10 meter antenna on top of the 20 meter to see what would
happen.  How about that, it worked.  No modeling, no guess work,
no scratching my head.  Just stuck the antenna there and it
worked.  If I would have modeled it, probably would have told me
it won't work.  Think I'll just leave it there.
