Could incremental lengths of coax be used to phase two different antennas?
Just suppose I have a brand M 4 element monobander and a brand H 6 element
monobander, each for the same band, stacked on a rotating tower. I have no
idea of the length of the feedline to each and I want to feed them together
for biggest DX signal.
Could I add coax increnentally to one of the feedlines, and then transmit a
signal thru both simulatanesously to be received at a distant ground wave
station in order to determine how much extra coax would bring the signals
from the two antennas into phase. I am thinking that the length of extra
coax yielding the strongest received signal at the far station would
indicate proper phase for DXing.
Lengths of 1/10 wavelength, 2/10 wavelength, 4/10 wavelength and 8/10
wavelength, just four lengths of coax, would incrementally cover every
tenth of a wavelength for the experimental coax.
Anybody tried this?
Comments?
Suggestions?
