Default Turnstile question

I'm building a turnstile in the 1GHz range. The length of the coax
for the 90* phasing loop is too short to work with easily. Would I
get the same results using a phasing loop 270* in length?

Hi Ralph

Could you consider constructing your Turnstile so the "phasing loop" is a
straight length of coax, about 2 inches long seperating the two (crossed)
dipoles?

I figured 1.8 inches for 1066 MHz. I wanted to build it into a pvc
pipe cap so there isn't much room to work. Also, am I correct to
assume the 1.8 is the total length, including what is stripped back to
make the connection?
