Anyone who has seen Bob Heil, K9EID's demonstration of in-phase and
out-of-phase audio will agree that out-of-phase is pretty useless since
everything gets cancelled out. Some stack problems are a result of the baluns
being hooked up backwards which puts them out-of-phase.
Strictly anecdotal but doesn't give me any warm fuzzies about using an
out-of-phase antenna system.
