Hi Mike,
Yes, I meant use of XELEDOP to measure the patterns of arrays
of Beverage antennas. The results of XELEDOP measurements
of the patterns of a large electrically steerable array of 220 foot
Beverages used from about 7-30 MHz were never published.
I'm sorry I wasn't clearer by failing to clarify that the XELODOP
reference was for pattern measurements of a log periodic antenna.

Bingo!!!! KM1H has shallow soil, and he uses some kind of plastic-coated welded
wire fencing with good results. I forget the details, but he's posted lots of
info about that on qrz.com and/or eham.net .

Frank, did you mean Beverage antennas? That PDF appeared to be about a log
periodic.
If you did mean Beverages, where was the chicken wire located in relation to
them?
