That's very different from my experience, David. My 550 ft reversible Beverage hears pretty good as high as 20M -- I used it a lot to hear EU before I had aluminum in the air, and I still use it up to 30M. It's height varies over my irregular terrain between 3 ft and 10 ft (the terrain varies a lot more than that), and it's implemented using DXE hardware and 400 ohm window line. I have two of these at right angles, and use them a lot on 40M to hear EU, VK, SA, and JA.
