[TowerTalk] Experience with phased verticals on 40m?

[John Tait]

I run a pair of 1/4 spaced verticals East/West, using the simple 84 deg 
feed lines, and a 71 deg phasing line, from ON4UN's fourth edition, page 
11-9. It works very well for me, and is easy to build. It cost almost 
nothing, and is very effective. Unless you can get to a sufficient 
height, dipoles are cloud warmers, but good for the close in stuff. A 
four square would be great, but if you don't have the space, a pair are 
much better than one.  Well worth the effort.
