    Thought I would share something I have been working on for the last year. I build a Steering Control Box using coax delay lines to be able to switch around (Steer) both Inverted End Fed wire antennas. The Steering Control design was based on the ARRL Compendium#2 Article. And the FCP was based on K2AV's Design.

    See my QRZ page for info and photos( https://www.qrz.com/lookup/va3kgs ).

    Has anyone else out there done something like this? I would like to here how its performing for you. If there are any questions, I hope I could answer them for you.

    Cheers from the South Coast of Canada.

    Nice write-up on your profile page. Thanks for including schematics.

    Umm, your title is poorly chosen. What you use for radials, counterpoises, etc. is irrelevant to phasing or steering antennas; similar to "Steering Nylon Rope Guyed Verticals".

    -What the heck is an Inverted End Fed Wire? Which side of a wire is UP? :)

    Positive stroke: Nice documentation and diagrams!! I firmly believe that there is much future development in phased antennas. cheers, bill

    p.s. Could I suggest that you 'roll up' your plans, diagrams and photos into a single PDF that can be readily shared?
