[TowerTalk] Phasing Question

Yes you can use add a parasitic element (reflector or director) and create a 
vertical array.

I asked this same question here a couple of months ago, and from what I
received in answer, I assume unless you have a meter to detrmine inpedance,
reactance, phase angles, vectors, etc, it is not worth doing to do it right.

So, there is another question I have.  If you just put up 1 vertical and put
up another one 1/4 wave away, can you use this as a director or reflector by
switching a coil in and out?

This seems like it would be a lot easier to do.  Thanks and 73
