There are also antennas that are neither beverages nor screwdrivers ...
Regarding beverages, please remind that they are also very useful
at higher frequencies, giving both azimut and elevation angle diversities
versus traditional beams. We are using 6 of them at FY5KE, even
on 10m, and are very pleased with the result. Of course low level
signals are hard to copy on beverages, so high a SFI is prefered !

Beverage antenna is a directional receive only antenna. It is very
ineffecient but at lower frequencies where atmospheric noise is so high it
does not matter.

There's also an antenna called a beverage that isn't a screwdriver. :)
