Please consider the following:
A receiving array consisting of two Hi-Z Elements like those used by
K7TJR in his 8 element array. Spacing is 1/8 WL. EZ-Nec says at 23
degrees elevation the gain is maximum. Carrying this through, the
delay line necessary for maximum F/B at 23 degrees elevation is 138.5
degrees. However, the angle at which the maximum F/B occurs can be
changed by varying the length of the delay line, therefore, the
maximum F/B can be made to occur at a higher angle by extending the
delay line a bit(a degree or two). The question: is this a reasonable
and practical way to reduce signal strength from stateside signals,
and will there be detrimental affects on signals arriving at lower angles?
