Thanks to the several who replied.  I might be able to put up two as a
phased array but not four.
I have someone who is willing to model one, two and 4 K8UR antennas.  What I
wanted to validate my results
(with NEC4WIN, a NEC2 program) and compare that to a sloping dipole and
several variations that John ON4UN
has in his 1994 book.

I found that my sloping dipole (it has directivity in direction of the
slope, but its over 70 degrees wide) is much better on Europe
than my other antennas, but I will not take down my N/S killer antenna that
K4UEE said made me the loudest sig into CE0 several years ago.   I need to
fill in NE/SW directions.

Thanks and Seasons Greetings,
