Re: [IRCA] Favorite reversible beverage?

Hi Mark,

I do exactly what you're trying to do by using a pair of unterminated BOGs
(Beverage On the Ground).  The parallel BOG wires (via matching
transformers and coax) are connected to a phasing box (such as the Quantum
Phaser by DX Tools).  This will give you east-west reversibility from the
shack with deep nulls.  This is simple to deploy and all the components are
available off the shelf.  As you may have gathered from my DU reports this
week, this setup rocks if you have the space!

You may also want to consider a reversible DKAZ or similar terminated
loop.  Mark Durenberger has a clever remote controller circuit using relays
and Vactrols to accomplish this.  As far as I know, there's no
off-the-shelf solution and you'll have to roll your own like I did for my
north-south reversible DKAZ.
