[TowerTalk] Method of calculating phase delay variation

[K7LXC at aol.com]

Howdy --
 
    First, one of my ham rules is "Go with what  you've got" so I was glad 
to see Gerald's, K5GW, comments on feeding both of  your antennas. Try it 
and see what happens. 
 
    OTOH the potential problems with out-of-phase  antennas can be 
disastrous. Bob Heil's , K9EID, dramatic demonstration  of out-of-phase speakers 
(another propagation device) will give you  pause to maybe pursue  more precise 
phasing. (The sound disappears  when they are out of phase. Imagine your 
antennas canceling each other  out.)
 
Cheers,

PS - I followed Bob's talk at the W9DXCC convention some years  ago and he 
is a hard act to follow!
