I would like to develop some gain on 80M.  I have the ability to put up two
shortened verticals (such as HF2Vs) and phase them.  The spacing would not
be optimum (1/4 or 1/2 wl) but rather a compromise dictated by where I can
hide the verticals.  I assume I'll need to fiddle a little with the phasing
lines to get a reasonable pattern since the spacing will not be optimal.

My questions are:

Any suggestions as far as whose "box" to use.  Both Array Solutions and
ComTec have a box that will work.  Comtec's is much cheaper, but is there a
compromise?

Any articles or resources for 2 element arrays?  I see lots for 4 squares,
but not much at all for 2 element arrays.

Thanks in advance.
