I'm planning to put up several beverages on a farm that has cattle grazing
all over it. For obvious reasons gradually sloping the beverages to ground
level at both ends would require quite a bit of extra fencing to keep the
cows away from the wire. In ON4UN's book (2nd edition) he shows a system
(Fig. 7-17) of a capacitor and 10 ft length of RG-62 to ground one end of a
two-wire beverage.
Can I use this method to ground a single wire beverage at both ends of the
beverage? At the terminating resistor end of the beverage, the resistor &
capacitor would be 10ft off the ground and then the coax would go
vertically 10 ft down to a ground rod. Similarly, at the feed point end of
the beverage, the matching transformer and feed-line connection would be 10
ft off the ground.
If the answer to the previous question is yes, then is there any problem
with several beverages "sharing" the same "ground system", i.e., a single
capacitor and 10ft length of RG-62, at the feed point end?
Many tks.
