Topband: 4 square receiving array

    I realized this morning after coffee I made an error in my quick Spice model of the 16:1 transformer.  The phase shifts due to magnetizing inductance are indeed smaller using a 10X factor than I quoted however the fact remains that there are mostly uncontrollable phase shifts due to this as well as the resistive loads. All around using transformers on small elements in a 4 square or any other phased array certainly seems a bad idea to me.
