If my model is correct, changing the phase of one yagi 20 degrees makes
very little difference in the gain or pattern.

Here's the deal..
For phased arrays you can have fairly large phasing errors and the *gain*
doesn't change much. What changes is the depth and position of the nulls.
So the whole deal on the BIPBOPTOPBOT thing is that you're moving the
nulls around to suppress the stations you don't want to hear, while
slightly changing the gain in the directions of the stations you DO want
to hear. (for that matter, most likely, what you're doing is moving the
null OFF of the desired station).
