In my experience in building 4SQR array's, the F/B sounds ok, but you might
want to check with W0AH who has built a very solid performing 80M 2Element
array. I often found that the F/B would vary with season and distance of DX
heard. As for the MFJ 259, I used mine for coax calculations etc but I didn't
realize what a real set of professional made phased lines made until Jim at
Comtek
Systems sent me a set. Made a measurable difference. I'd toss out the 259
unless your checking SWR-
