Do you feel this applies to staggered/phased Beverages
(i.e.echelon)? My greatest noise problem is often thunderstorms
from the South-Central US when trying to listen toward Europe.
I've been considering staggered/phased Beverages as a solution
and believe this should help greatly. Even if individual Beverage
F/R patterns are not great, the result of a phased/staggered pair
should work fairly well IMHO. Any thoughts on this?
