How important is having a COS length when using a two wire beverage? I am
having a difficult time understanding why it would have any effect since a
two wire beverage is unterminated and would (to me anyway) seem to rely
completely on stray pick up and balance of the transformers for F/B
characteristics. Any comments or practical experience would be appreciated.
I'm refering to a real beverage of at least 1 wavelength on 160 meters.
