We plan 30-40dBW EIRP on 6 meters, with multiple simulcast TX sites.

I suppose there is the opportunity during a DX band opening for it to
sound ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!  Like rock band all playing out of tune
terrible.

The bad sound will be RF phase-holes in the signal, caused by 0-180-0
phase cancellations - not really something that can be solved with
technology.

Is the 6M multi-TX  concept doomed?
