Robert that thing'd work if the outer antennas (nulls) were switched around
the center one.
I didn't say yesterday that an Adcock is a one freq. set-up, or at least
one where delta-f/f is less than a few pct. Like 100-104 mhz'd be OK.
Reason radio ranges had side-by-side Adcocks was if you were on the
"N-side's" null all you heard was the "A-side." & visa versa.
Very effective in theory. But running these critters @ 350kcs req'd
600' spacing for the Adcock elements. & I dunno how far the Adcock-
pairs shudda been spaced.
Lotta real-estate, enuf for several strip malls today, at least a
sub-division in the 50s.
