Neil,
I suggest you change your single wire with two wires and make it a 2-wire
Beverage. I have used them extensively in a multitude of various
invironments for the past 12 years. They perform superbly in both
directions. I have never been able to tell any difference in performance
between the forward and rearward directions.
Follow the directions given in ON4UN's books and you can't go wrong.
Milt, N5IA
