[Antennas] Multiple antennas

[Robert Wilder]

  I would like to pose a question.  I have room to put up three (3) 
identical double extended Zepp antennas.for 40 meters They would be 120 
degrees from each other in the shape of a diamond.  Each antenna will be 
fed with an identical length of ladder line terminated in a 4:1 
balun.   Each balun will be fed with about three feet of coax to an antenna 
selection switch (like the Ameritron RCS-8V) and in turn to a single coax 
lead back to an antenna tuner in the shack.   I know that this would give 
me identical patterns but 120 degrees apart which pretty well cover the 
world.  Now the question.  If the switch can be made to select a pair of 
these antennas or even all three at one time, what will happen?  That 
is:  Pattern(s), Impedance, radiation resistance, etc.  Contact me off list 
or if you feel others might be interested via the list.
