This was a timely video for me Steve - tnx!
I am experimenting with phasing my North beverage (400'). I am restricted in that direction, but have plenty of room to the east for a parallel 400 footer. I may try something close spaced for my N/NW bev also. Will be trying different options, including using an MFJ-1026 (poor man's NCC-2, I'm hoping) to adjust phasing.

Anyone else using the 1025/1026 noise cancelling device as a phasing unit?

tnx es 73 de Rich, N8UX

Here is a YouTube video I uploaded a few days ago that explains the difference 
between end-fire and broadside phasing.

I show how this principle is applied to Beverage pairs in either end-fire 
en-echelon configuration or broadside configuration and I discuss the pros-cons 
of each.
4Nec2 models are shown to explain the RDF and FB differences of each 
configuration.

Some very high RDF RX antennas that combine both end-fire and broadside arrays 
are presented such as en-chelon end-fire pairs phased broadside, and two 
broadside phased 3 el end-fire vertical arrays.
