Visited the Pima Air Museum and spotted a weird antenna setup on a C-130

I was walking around the static display area last weekend and saw an old C-130 with a VHF blade antenna mounted right next to a UHF one on the fuselage. The spacing was maybe only 8 inches apart, which seemed way too close. I asked one of the volunteer docents about it, and he said it was a field mod from the 80s that caused constant interference issues. Has anyone else run into vintage airframes with oddball antenna placements that just don't make sense?
