1. Topband: beverage lobes (score: 1)

A couple of questions for the Beverage folks. Are the high angle lobes a problem? Has anyone tried stagered Beverages to suppress the high angle lobes? Dave WX7G _____________________________________

Depends on the propagation and prevailing angles. Sometimes the higher angles work, sometimes low angles prevail and the long Beverages do wonders. Staggered Beverages narrow the horizontal lobe, to

Not so. Staggered Beverages can place a null almost anywhere depending on stagger distance and phase. With 180 degree phase shift you can get a null straight up (and to the sides). Generally the sta

One has to realize the properties of the long Beverages, they lower the vertical angle and narrow the horizontal beamwidth. For example (according to EZNEC) going from 500 ft Beverage to 2000 ft, V

Hi Larry, I wonder if you had both antennas up at the same time and did A B comparisons, or if this is by feeling or memory? YMMV is certainly the concept in play here. I have run Beverages from 180

I think the fly in the ointment on this debate could be ground conductivity. A beverage looks more or less like 1/2 of a 2 wire transmission line over a ground plane with the 2nd half of the transmis

Yes, and even when you have antennas that you can switch between, it can be tricky to tell whether the difference are caused by selective fading or the characteristics of the antenna. That takes grea
