Hello Brian! Thanks for the note! No, I have not personally checked Beverage sidelobe response with and without sloped terminations; however, as you know, both AO abd EZNEC show the improvement in mo
4 feet of seperation? Frank can you explain more about this close seperation? Why did they not use less beverages with say 1/4 wave seperation? Please, more details! 73 -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.con
Any (>200') length will work well, but multiples of 290' give the best Front-to-back. Also, longer lengths have a lower angle (but slightly less F/B than a shorter multiple of 290'). At least 1/2 wa

Here is the answer to my question that some others also wanted to see. Pardon me Chad, for repeating your info without asking you. de K4VUD -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html
Bill, Beverage antennas are very lossy and tightly coupled into the nearby Earth, as a result there is virtually no mutual impedance among even very close spaced Beverages. It's very simple to experi
Re: Beverage Length (on 160M) 290 ft is just barely over 1/2 wavelength. This will have a very HIGH angle of radiation and very LITTLE F/B. At 1 wavelength (approx 520 ft) you will begin to see direc
Yeah, but you roll it all up during T Storm weather season Frank. I used to blow at least 4 2W carbons every summer; just from induced voltages. Finally went to three 180 Ohm 10W non-inductive in ser
