The "nulls" are not really null. In my case, the southern null
points at west MS, east TX, and I work everyone who is on there in the
contests. Signal strengths are equal in the "nulls", regardless of
which way the array is pointed.
Very common to see comparisons of ideal phased arrays versus real phased
arrays (with losses) showing that deep nulls only in the ideal and
practically unacheiveable setup for 160 meters. ... Question for the
experts: If you make a phased array of lossy antennas (say for instance
quarter wave verticals) which all have identical charcterstics (losses
are all the same) such as exact number and length of radials and equal
ground characteristics, could you get deep nulls as with "perfect"
antennas, but less gain, or would the nulls also be less deep?
