Topband: Phased Flags in Endfire Help

Hi All,

I have used a flag receive antenna for some time now and am very impressed with it's performance.  I would like to try to phase two in an Endfire mode spaced at 128 feet or so.  I use W8JI's 3 Binocular core transformer 16:1.

Tom has a receive combiner shown on his WEB site that would probably work OK but wonder if anyone has this configuration now and has suggestions on length of feedline, feed line type ETC.  Perhaps some sort of plans for this setup.

If you have not tried a Flag you will be very happy with it, other than winding the transformer takes an hour or so to errect.  It's 14 feet high by 29 feet long and can hang as low as the ground or be supported higher in the air.

Any suggestions would be helpful. 

Thanks in advance,
