Folks, has anyone had experience in constructing a Magic "T" combiner ? If so, can you provide me with your empirical data ?
I have built a couple but have no way to verify the integrity of my work. I am phasing two Pennants and I swear I see no difference in gain or rejection vs. one antenna.
I have used BN202 binocular cores and using the impedance formulas for the core material and constructing the transformer as a hybrid in-phase combiner with centertap going to a 37.5 ohm resistor to ground and a carbon 150 ohm resistor across the entire transformer at the feed points.
To date I am underwhelmed with the performance of these Pennants. Any personal experience would be appreciated.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
