I have a dipole 4 square array strung around my 150 foot elevated 160M ground
plane. The newer Comtek phasing boxes are built for ONLY quarter wave vertical
arrays. My Comtek box is a really old one and can handle dipole as well as
quarter wave vertical array. My array works quite well and has for close to 20
years now.
