Good afternoon to ALL!
I am getting ready to put up a beverage for top band. I have decided that I
want to put up a two wire system
using window line because of the ease of assembly. I am not sure if I will use
it in the null steering mode
or just switch from front to back. I will decide that after I get it up.
After reading the original W1CWR handbook, a book written by K3OQF and several
articles by Beverage
himself (as well as other references to include much written by W3LPL and W8JI)
and tempering it with
my site requirements I have pretty much decided to put it up 7-8 ft in the air.
BUT... I have several questions.
1. Is there an optimum height above the ground?
2, Can I get away with not sloping the ends toward the ground? (the deer are
heavy around here)
3. I have 491 ft of window line should I just put that up or should I order
another 100ft and splice
it together?
4. What other suggestions do the readers have?
Thanks
Jim WAMEJ
