Yes, I meant they are in an equilateral triangle. Had a brain fart.
Lots of postings on this subject, but nobody has yet answered my original
question. I'll post it again.
I have 2 stubs, separtated by a 1/4 wave phasing line on my single vertical.
Will these stubs affect the phasing of the verticals. That was what I was
originally asking. Thanks and 73
