“How does a 250 ft long, BI-directional beverage even work? Thats only .5
wavelength long on 160m,
and only 1 wavelength long on 80m.“
At my QTH a 300’ unterminated beverage at 3’ is FABULOUS on 160 meters. It’s a
true marvel. I can hear signals buried in the noise on my other RX antennas
and, of course, my vertical. Overall and on average it is by far the best rx
antenna I have!
Sure if it were longer it would be better. If it was terminated it would be
better still but then we all have our limitations and must do the best we can
with what we have to work with.
