I’m about ready to try two Arrows as well and recently made phasing lines following Marks article referred to in another post. If the wx ever improves so I can get outside and set up my portable lakeside summer station here in the Poconos I’ll let everyone know how it performs.
I made a nonconductive 6.5’ cross-boom out of a piece of 2 pieces of telescoping pvc with a wooden dowel in the center to further improve rigidity. I actually originally made it 10’ and it held up for years at the home qth. I no longer need it there so I cut it down for this new installation.
Phasing lines are cut to quarter wave multiples and I used my RigEpert in making these. They are tricky as you have to allow for the connector and the T adapter length so the phasing lines have to be cut a little shorter than a multiple of 1/4 wave. Hopefully mine are close enough.
I will try mounting the two antennas at 90 degrees and see what happens. I’ll then try at maybe 45 degrees each with the angles pointing into one another.
