Topband: Broadside vs end-fire phasing of RX ants: MFJ-1026?

[Rich Dailey]

This was a timely video for me Steve - tnx!
I am experimenting with phasing my North beverage (400'). I am 
restricted in that direction, but have plenty
of room to the east for a parallel 400 footer. I may try something close 
spaced for my N/NW bev also.
Will be trying different options, including using an MFJ-1026 (poor 
man's NCC-2, I'm hoping) to adjust phasing.

Anyone else using the 1025/1026 noise cancelling device as a phasing unit?

tnx es 73 de Rich, N8UX
