As long as your Beverages are placed inland from the sea you should be OK. I have several Beverages that run south and terminate about 35 feet from the waters edge and they work very well. It all depends on the type of earth underneath the run.

Hi,

We want to improve the RX on low bands in our contest station.

Our contest QTH is near the sea...just few feets from the ocean.

We think about the beverages but I have been reading that beverages near the

sea don't work very well.

Maybe other RX antennas work better near the seawater.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Doug, CO8DM
