Id like to point out that it is quite feasible to phase a
vertical;against a loop. It has been done for over 40 years. One
variant of the idea was the LSCA, and reporints are / were available
from the clubs about it.
But I didn't understand what is meant by the "hot end". Nor why
phasing would affect what a DKAZ delivers.

Mark, if you use an omni antenna to phase the D-Kaz you'll also be
pulling
down signals from the "hot" end of the D-Kaz.
You might do better by phasing with a loop orthogonal to the D-Kaz;
this
would help you wipe out stuff from the sides.
Cheers!

I'm open to suggestions on that. Currently I have a DKaz pointed south,
and a small vertical wire going from ground level up to about 30 feet
high in a tree. That is my "check" antenna because it's
omni-directional. (It also is closer to the house and any noise sources
within....)

Hi Mark. Perhaps, what antennae will you be using?

So if I've never used a phaser before, would this be a good "starter"
