Re: Topband: Beverage F/B using oscillator

Greg,

I re-did the exercise at 470m distance from both ends of the beverage 
and the F/B has increased to 7db. I was tired to go further in a VERY 
muddy ground but I will test again at near-field edge (around 840m) when 
it gets drier.
Thanks

Hi Ashraf,

The rule of thumb I use is 2D^2 /lambda, where D is the largest
dimension of the antenna. So if your Bev is 320m long you need to be
over a km away. If only 160m long you need to be 300 m away.

73, and I hope to work you one of these days at my SR.

Greg, ZL3IX
