Default Constructive interference in radiowave propagation

It is true, however, that two non-coherent fields from two different sources would just plow through each

Can one not change the location of the nulls by changing
the phase relationship of the two sources?

If so, it would seem to me that two non-coherent fields are
simply fields without a constant phase relationship and as
such, the nulls are constantly moving; still present, but
not stationary.


If the waves are mutually incoherent, there is
NO interference which means no effect on each other.
Constructive and destructive interference is
impossible between two mutually incoherent waves
(under ordinary experimental conditions).
