Hello Jorge, ... Not terminating the far end will cause the Beverage to pick up noise from the near end. In some cases, that noise can mask the desired signal from the far end. I have two bi-directio
works I have 6 "center-fed" 2-wire, 2-port Beverages which have reflection transformers (or the equivalent) at both ends. They work very well in terms of directivity and deliver plenty of signal. I w
I have one single wire Beverage that was installed on the low brush 4-12" above the soil that worked well in a direction I had RFI from a neighbor. It is now under 4' of snow and ice and appears to w
-- Neil, I suggest you change your single wire with two wires and make it a 2-wire Beverage. I have used them extensively in a multitude of various invironments for the past 12 years. They perform su

Last week the weathermen predicted a major ice storm, so to minimize potential damage to my station, I lowered the ropes holding my 160m vertical wires and removed the tension at the ends of my KD9SV
Hello, will the performance of a beverage go down if I quit the resistor and ground at the end? I know that it will became bidirectional, but this is not a problem for me, much better if I can heard
The first question that comes to mind is whether the difference in signal strength is due to a fault on the Beverage, or a due to a difference in the signals from the two directions... The comment th
Hi Neil, My first questions about problems with your reversible Beverage are: How long is the Beverage antenna? How far away and where in relationship is your TX antenna? Do you remember to terminate
I mount the boxes just below the antennas which all terminates at a tree at both ends. Then short flexible leads with a drip loop to the SS screw terminals. Carl KM1H ________________________________
