Hoping that Roy, AL, or Walt, or others will chime in here...

Roy has a SIMPFEED program available from eznec.com that
will tell one if what one is trying to do is possible
and then perform the calculations. I tried the early
version on phased verticals on 75m in AZ and it worked
very well. I could throw a coaxial switch and switch the
beaming function toward CA or TX.

Also, using EZNEC to estimate the feedpoint impedances,
one can always use a Smith Chart to solve the feedline
phasing problems the old-fashioned way. (Years ago, while
using Microsmith, I stumbled upon a method of obtaining
a free lossless phase shift.)
