I'd put my money on nulling based on minimizing the phase difference. It
is 
going to work well with less regard for program material HF content.

We had circuits like this in the missile systems I worked on in the Army. 
They did a really good job of getting missiles to collide with airplanes, 
radar receivers to ignore ground clutter, and transmitters to have minimal

RF noise on their carrier.
