Dear Markku:

	I have a TH6 at 97', a TH6 at 61' and a TH7 at 31'. The bottom
one is fixed on EU. When I first installed the system, I had the phase
wrong on the TH7, swapping the two wires from the balun made a dramatic
difference. No one has ever suggested that there is anything wrong with
my mixing of TH6's and a TH7, and it works well.
