I took Gary De Bocks somewhat cryptic and mysterious layout and theory of an effective audio phasing harness and whipped one up quickly for use in my twin SRF-59 array.
For those who received Gary's word document probably would have been shocked by the seemingly unintelligible use of technical jargon and discouraged by the endless references to complex electrical terms like; Red wire. Black wire. Ground. Braid. Common. Having graduated from not ONE but TWO college degree programs in Electronics AND having completed a 4 year apprenticeship in Electronics (in a Naval facility not unlike Gary's) I was able to see through Gary's feeble attempts to alienate and exclude otherwise enthusiastic DXers in their attempts to make sense of this wonderful opportunity. Shame! Anyway - within about 15 minutes of spinning together various wires and ground braids and soldering various wires to a 1/8" stereo FEMALE jack (modified to handle a mono signal) - I had a very impressive (and visually vastly superior) Phaser cable harness just itching to cross-phase two SRF-59 audio signals. Within moments of hooking up this cable assembly to my two SRF-59's I was astounded by my ability to "Knock-out" offending audio and hear what I wanted to hear. I is very bizarre "tuning out" a signal with the volume control. No thanks to Gary who tried in vain to turn this into a black-art. Shame I say! Boo! I will have hours and hours of phaser fun ahead of me... and I might even consider making up a dozen or so of these harnesses... for those... still discouraged and traumatized by Gary's shameless attempts to shut out major segments of the listening population. Shame! Boo! --End of Satire component. Gary rocks.
