[TowerTalk] can I sub a Hytower for a 40m vertical in a phased array?

[n8de at thepoint.net]

Should be no problem to replace one vertical with another, regardless  
of 'shape'.  You might have to tweak the phasing to get it exactly the  
same, as there is no guarantee that both verticals will have the same  
feedpoint impedance.
As for using the Hy-Tower for 80m in the same arrangement ... you  
might need to remotely disconnect the phasing to get a good match on  
80m.

I am using a home-brew insulated tower for 80m and actually have two  
up, but not yet phased.  Will be remotely switching the phasing when I  
get the third one up.
