Go back and re-read Patrick Griffith's post. I thought he explained it very well. There are multiple issues - one being that the RF from the nearby station gets into the antenna of the one silent and being worked on, making it impossible to get proper readings, pattern, whatever. the second is that given evough concentration of radiated power, the nearby transmitting antenna becomes a receiving antenna, magnifying the RF from the second station, in some cases enough to cause RF burns.
