Hi all!
Playing with my toys.
Using an Anritsu S113b which does not have direct voltmeter readout.
These numbers were calculated by making a return loss measurement and
converting it to relative phase with their Line sweep tools software.
I went through this whole process (took about 5 times longer) prior to
my trip to 5J0 and realized that mistakes had been made. Took a pair
of crossed linear 10 element diddled by a Tohtsu spdt 12v instead
Worked like a charm from AOS to 5-7 degrees above the horizon so that
I could switch polarities. What a blast. Used my homebrew rotator.

Please ignore my 2yo little monsters. They can and do make s9+ noise.
Trying to get the coax for a cp antenna correct this time. Waste no more coax..
I have two Transco SMA 24V relays and an SMA jumper, consisting of two
elbows and a straight piece.
First order of business was to calibrate all the test gear. Note how
long the adapters attached to the N connector were as well as noting
the length of the test cable.
Got some interesting results:
RYA NC: 232.2 degrees
RYA NO 231.8 """"""
RYB NC 231.3""""""""""
RYB NO 231.0 """"""""""
SMA jumper to connect Common->NC to NC->common 281.3 degrees.
Does this look correct? How does such a small package contain such a
lengthy RF path?
