GAry-- Can you give me a description of or a reference to th etwo 
wire Beverage?  I am using a 250' single wire "Beverage."  If one 
wire is good, two wires shoudl be better.

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.
