OCD - OCFD

[kopcicle]

I have one OCFD strung E to W , I'll be adding another just 40' away but with the feed point offset the other direction. My easiest access is on the West end. My roommate's best drop is to the East. Then the roommate asks " is there any way to build a phasing harness to any advantage?" Phuck oh dear! Now we're down the rabbit hole. I've tried but with the meager tools I have there doesn't seem to be any way to model it . I've made the mistake of treating the OCFD as a dipole several times. (you think I'd learn). Now with a fixed parallel, non optimal distance for any band I can only experiment.

Two methods come to mind. A simple coaxial "T" and vary the feed line distance between the antennas or a broad band splitter with delay lines fed from the main coax.

You're on the right track. The ARRL Antenna book has some models of various types of phased arrays that you might look at. They don't have your exact setup, but it will give you an idea of what your signal pattern might look like depending on the phasing setup.
