"Here I go again" (quote from Ronald Reagan, don't want to be a Mike
Barnacle) ...

If I properly stack two matched tri-banders and if the match perfect, I
understand that I have twice the capture area on RX, but what is happening
on TX?

Example:  If I TX 1000 watts and one beam is pointed South and the other
West, do I radiate roughly equal signals in both directions (correcting for
differences in height and propagation)?  Or is the power roughly divided in
half in the phasing system?

Thanks & 73, DavidC  AA1FA
