Hi TT'ians

I got my 3 vertical array up and running Sunday and it seems to be working 
pretty slick, switchable in 6 directions.

I am using a 1/4 wave phasing line.   I have misplaced my ON4UN Low Band 
DX'ing book (anyone got one for sale) here, but I seem to remember that a 
135 degree phasing line would be better.

What I was wondering, can I measure the 135 degree line with my MFJ 259B 
just like I measured the 1/4 wave line?  Will I get the same reading, being 
it is a 1/4 wave on the end of a 1/2 line.

Or, what frequency is a 135 degree line for 40 meters a quarter wave for? 
That would make it simple to figure out.  Thanks and 73
Tom W7WHY
