Default Wellbrook Phased Array

Any comments on the phasing unit itself? Is it comparable performance-
wise to the units available from MFJ and Timewave or is it a cut
above?

Steve, I've used an MFJ phaser, and a JPS noise canceller/phaser, but not
the Timewave unit. The Wellbrook phasing box is definitely easier to find
the nulls with, compared to phasers I've used before. Most of my experience,
though, is with Beverage antennas; performance of this Wellbrook Array is
pretty darn close! It's VERY nice to have the switchable directionality,
which is like having to opposite antennas in the same physical space. I'll
know more in a week, after I return from a DXpedition with a friend who also
has the same Wellbrook Phased Array. We will be trying some alternate
configurations of loops, and comparing the arrays against BOGs and
Beverages.
