Pete, all:
I agree that a simple model is the right approach.
A re-read of PV's book is probably in order, as well.
My own experience with out-of-phase stacks was inconclusive,
but not rigorous, as it was during contests. Others have
said basically the same thing.
I'm going to model a pair of 3 el monobanders, spaced 1/2
wavelength. Once I find the optimal height for the pair,
I'll then vary phasing, with 30,60,90,150, and 180 degree
increments, and see what happens.
Thanks, all, for the inputs.
