Forget what I said about dipole radiating right off the ends of the line -
straight out.. I thought I read that in one of my books and it said that most

AA0RS might have been directional - and not in my direction :-)
Filters.. possibly filtering out the signal by accident or operator error :-)
Using a TS-570G and I'm thinking about using my Yaesu 987 for Beverage? Easier

Any have any comments on grounding needs with beverage over hard volcanic ash
rock and dry bushes on a mountain...
Just run a bunch of radials on the ground. Drill in a copper rod as far as
possible to hold down radials?
