Walt Miller, AJ6T is right---I am pleased to have helped convince him to
try those Beverages. I have been using two, two-wire Bevs of only 250
feet or so, for five or six years. Mine run THROUGH a dense redwood
forest on the side of a very steep, very deep canyon, following the
terrain, and zigging every so often. I am sure they would work a lot
better were they straight, twice as long, and in the clear. But, in the
real world, unless you have limitless resources, you do what you can
rather than do what you want.
