I think you'll be wasting your time with the Stackmatch, unless you
adjust the feedline lengths to compensate for the different positions of
the driven elements relative to your target directions. WX0B wrote a
little article about doing this - probably somewhere on the AS web site.

Yes Doug, I am sure I was on the Force...after my “oops” on Saturday morning....I
checked—twice. When you home the Steppir elements, there is NO signal, not even noise—hihi.
Ian, I think you have the best explanation—some kind of coupling...I forgot to add, when I
selected the Force it was at 045, the Steppir on the roof was at 010...so they were
“close” to the same direction.
After this development, I am putting the Steppir on top at 67 ft, and the Force
35 ft below and actually couple them with an Array Solutions stack match and
see how that develops...while working on getting a big tower, or Bertha up with
stacked Steppers at 150 and 75.
