Tom,
Two methods, determine what length a 1/4 wave (90 deg) @ 7mHz is, and then
add one half that value for the total length ( 90 deg. + 45 deg= 135 deg). Or
measure at 2X the 40m frequency (20m), and in that case a 135deg line at 40m
will look like a 270deg or 3/4w line at 14 mHz.

Hi TT'ians
I got my 3 vertical array up and running Sunday and it seems to be working
pretty slick, switchable in 6 directions.
I am using a 1/4 wave phasing line. I have misplaced my ON4UN Low Band
DX'ing book (anyone got one for sale) here, but I seem to remember that a
135 degree phasing line would be better.
What I was wondering, can I measure the 135 degree line with my MFJ 259B
just like I measured the 1/4 wave line? Will I get the same reading, being
it is a 1/4 wave on the end of a 1/2 line.
Or, what frequency is a 135 degree line for 40 meters a quarter wave for?
That would make it simple to figure out. Thanks and 73
