Exuse my unscientific anecdotal questions, but does this mean if I didn't care
about F/B (I have RX loops for that), only TX gain, I could just feed my 1/8WL
spaced verticals in phase?
Is TX optimization any less complex to accomplish than the F/B RX scenario:
(i.e. no network analyzers/calculus spreadsheets needed)?
Even if it isn't too complex to optimize 1/8WL spaced verticals for TX, some
have noted only a minimal TX gain (~3db) when phasing verticals.... Is this
the norm?
Sounds like I might be better off taking one my verticals down and using the
metal for ground rods on the remaining one :-)
