However, since that report and procedures info for phasing two or three vertical antennas was written, there have been improvements to the test procedures, computer modeling, and probably much discussion as to how best to tackle a simple 2-antenna vertical array used for just 40-Meters. That Hy-Gain report is given in the last four pages of the link shown earlier. I'd be interested in any suggestions or improvements before I look at doing it as shown in this Hy-Gain report.

What about the scheme in the ARRL antenna compendium from the EE prof.. 
Basically a pi network that gets adjusted and a DPDT switch to flip the 
phasing.  You adjust for a null on the desired station, then flip the 
switch.
