Tom, Kaz,
>From the website Kaz provided it appears to be 4 active crossed-pair k9ay
loops:

Kaz, am I correct in my understanding? How did you feed the 4 pairs
of loops? What were the phase relationships? How did you select directions?
That is, what control did you use? Some details would be helpful.
My own experience with a single pair of crossed k9ay loops was that their
principal benefit was a sharp null. If an offending station happened to
land within that null, it was useful. Otherwise, it was not. That led
me to conclude that a single rotatable k9ay loop was better.
At w2gd, the k9ay loop was far inferior to our beverages. But having a
phased array of them might be highly useful, particularly if they are
steerable.
