After looking at their literature it appears to me that this is nothing
more then two beverages, one in each direction, with the "feed unit"
being, perhaps, a couple relays. I don't see the merit in using RG6 as
the beverage wire: its heavy, will need more supports, and compared to
other solutions, perhaps more expensive. And the fact that the feed unit
can be placed anywhere along the antenna? I must be missing something
clever because all that would seem to do is make one direction's wire
longer and the other shorter?
Since the antenna is a transmission line, with suitable end and center
transformers, the feedpoint can be placed anywhere and the full length used.
With different transformers, any reasonable type of transmission line can be
used.
All good topband ops know how to put up a beverage at night.
