I use to discourage more than one MADAR site in a town, but I have seen some benefits. Of course the bigger the city the more it seems beneficial to have multiple sites, especially if the nodes are at least 10-15 miles apart.

What I'm telling potential buyers now is that it is important to consider the Level each site is operating under. If you intend on setting up a Level-II site and have a DAS (alarm), additional equipment to take outside, possibly using a rapid response team, having another site nearby is certainly not detrimental. If the other site is a Level-I site and acts like a robot station gathering data it can provide important information. The same goes If it is another Level-II, but experience shows that not a few nodes are moving or the op decides to "retire" or give up the vigil. We have lost several ops to COVID or old age. So the "competition" is not always there.

And by the same token a site you establish in a city may not be alone very long, as MADAR becomes more and more popular.

Another thing that can affect what a site is able to pick up is the MADAR's threshold or shield. Due to local E-M, especially if the op doesn't do due dilligence to get the level low as possible, his/her TH may have to be set at a level that decreases the abilityto detect an anomaly. In that case the winner is going to be the node with the lowest TH, and probably the best installation and location in the structure. We'll do our best to help each and every op obtain maximum ability to detect a UAP.
