Les Moxon (G6XN, SK) would have been delighted with that application of
his ideas.
He always liked to think of 2-element beams being instantly reversible.
If the two elements are made identical, the beam can be reversed by
switching feedlines/stubs. The bigger the beam, the bigger the benefit -
especially with a side mount, as has just been pointed out.
A half-hour with NEC might produce some interesting possibilities.
