And the purpose would be _________?

symmetry

us with CDO( ocd spelled right, alphabetically) need to have balance. thus the reason folks make 2 into one pipes with a false side.

hmmmmm.. my OCD took me in the opposite direction.
Instead of the need for a 2nd antenna to balance the existing right-side antenna, I removed my antenna to match the non-existing left-side antenna.
Now it has balance.



And, now the top deck it's the only piece of black tupperware with nice paint and a clear coat.

I think it would look cool to have 2 antennas you could buy a T and maybe you would also get better reception.

In the early 80's, some aftermarket head units would use 2 antennas (front and back) and switch between the 2 to get better reception when transitioning between blockages. The concept didn't seem to gain much traction here on the blue marble.

I put my ham radio antenna on the other side. It doesn't look exactly the same, but I now have dual antennas.
