Again I say, thanks for the compliment! I am by no means an expert on
this topic or antennas in general. I just love antennas! Plus, I was
trying to recall, from my (shorter by the day) memory how our ELF
antennas worked. I haven't worked there for just shy of 9 years...and I
can't even remember what I had for dinner last night

I've often thought of giving the crossed dipoles (I guess you call it a
turnstile antenna) a try on 75M since a 2 element yagi or quad there
might be a bit unwieldy :O Now if I could only remember the math
formula to figure the direction of steering by knowing the phase
difference between the feeds of each antenna. I do remember it was
fairly simple and used sine, cosine, or tangent. Maybe I'll have to ask
a buddy still working there if he can dig the info up in the books
there. Actually, he worked for the company who built the site in the
1980's so he might even be able to pull it from memory. I don't think
that information would be classified

When both sides are technically correct, there can be no valid argument.
