And how does that help track a non - (frequency) - stationary signal? And
150 MHz two-way has nit to do with downcoming horizontally polarized sky
waves, I theenk.
By the way, Terman and Pettit got themselves into a heap o' grief with that
simplistic approach. I've sent them on to the archives now, but there is a
large volume of correspondence in Proc. IRE back about '47 about how that
doesn't work.

"I think Steve would be interested in hearing a methodology for DFing a
non-stationary signal, as would I."
Terman says on page 1050 of his 1955 edition:
"The errors in bearing caused by downcoming horizontally polarized sky
waves can be eliminated by replacing the loop antenna with an Adcock
antenna, which in its simplest form consists of two spaced vertical
antennas, connected as shown in Fig. 26-28."
The ARRL Antenna book also gives information and says construction is
not critical.
