Greetings all:

I want to phase two Butternut HF-2V 40/80 verticals.

Additionally I need to switch the phasing line so as to have a N-S and E-W
directionality. 40 meters is the most important band in terms of the needed
efficiency. Anyone done this and have some specifics?

There was an article in QST (IIRC) in the last decade and a half (IIRC)
about selectable phasing. The coax to _both_ verticals - of equal
length - were brought into the shack. These were attached to the ends of
a multi-position switch - and then sections of coax were daisy-chained from
switch position to switch position. The coax to the xcvr, then, was
connected to the rotary position of the switch. At least, IIRC. HI!HI!
