They'd have to be separate and loosely coupled, no? I wouldn't think the
nearly-identical coils could drive the same main terminal.  WOuldn't one
of them see the other one as a short to ground?  I don't know what happens
with quarter-wave waveguides, but connecting two parallel resonant RLC
tanks together doesn't give beats, it gives 2x lower frequency.   If you
wanted to inject 100KHz and 100.001KHz into the same antenna, you'd need
some sort of big matching network.


PS
I'm trying to get a big software project finished, so I'm carefully
avoiding things like the pupman list!   :)
