Here are some pictures of the phasing system. First, the vertical antenna. Took ten minutes to make. Seriously ugly...
http://www.am-dx.com/Graphics/vertical1.jpg Next, a couple of shots of the combiner as I use in the truck. This is a more elaborate version of the one shown in the schematic. This has pots for both antennas, plus a 0/180 degree switch for the loop. Since the loop pot is always at full CW, it isn't needed. The 0/180 degree switch is also not needed because simply turning the loop 180 degrees does the same thing. http://www.am-dx.com/Graphics/combiner_inside.jpg http://www.am-dx.com/Graphics/combiner_outside.jpg I'll write up a more detailed article when I get some time. Hope it's useful to y'all!
