[TowerTalk] Phasing verticals and stubs

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Don

They are in a right triangle, but mine are switchable in 6 directions.  I 
had them all set up before and they worked great, but the winter storm took 
them all down.  I have 2 of them up now and going to put the 3rd one up this 
weekend.  I have a box I build which switches them and all I need is one 
phasing line in the shack.  It is amazing to watch the signal strength when 
I rotate the switch through the 360 degrees.  Thanks and GL on the project.
