Any "loop" you try in phasing will also null the opposite direction...which
may not be a bad thing for your situation...?

I really need to do more reading on the topic. One of my interests 
initially was to use phasing to eliminate RFI sources that had a 
particular bearing. Now it's more to eliminate pest stations, like 1100 
WTAM or 700 WLW or the Chicago stations, most of which are to the sides.

The "hot" end I'm assuming is the direction the D-Kaz is aimed at, which 
in my case is to the south.

I've been thinking about trying out a superloop pointed West. Maybe that 
would be a good one to use with the D-Kaz for phasing?
