I'm not sure.

We were 8A plus 6M plus Sat, the latter being the two foremost antennas in the pic with a 10M behind them.

Say half the 8A stations were dual band/day night, so that's 12 more. So... 14?

Can 2 radios use the same antenna at the same time?  Say one using the X band and the other using the Y band?

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

Came into this world screaming, kicking and covered in someone else's blood.  Don't mind going out that way.

Yes and no. They can always receive. Sometimes in a specialized application like a repeater, they can receive and transmit at the same time with a liberal application of US currency. Probably never transmit at the same time. That would be effectively playing two notes on a guitar string since it's all about resonance.
