Good Grief, Gene. Do you not know how to change ns of
delay to degrees of delay at 4 MHz? Assuming that some
posters may not know how, here's how.

Degrees of delay = 360(ns of Delay/WL/c)

The wavelength at 4 MHz is 246 feet. W8JI tells us that
the speed of light is 0.9821 ft/ns. That makes the delay
for a 3 ns delay equal to 4.47 degrees.
