On my bucket list is a system for remotely changing the lengths of my two
2-wire Beverages between 580 and ~800 feet long.

Thanks for the reminder. I was going to try this with my modified MFJ-1025
noise canceller, which I haven't used since I moved to this QTH.
I also wanted to input unwanted signals from a separate Beverage into the
MFJ-1025, to deepen the nulls from the selected Beverage. I wonder if
anyone has ever done that?

That's on my bucket list, too. :-)
