Dave, Thank you for the info. That's another good option. Here in KY I have yet
to see anything bite into my feedlines and I have many on the ground. I'm
trying to keep the antenna from being seen too. I've had kids tear up one on my
Beverages. Thanks Fred KB4QZH

made out RG6 coax is an easier way to go and easier to "manage" than either the
two wire or twisted versions. You can get a 500 foot role at the local big box
home & lumber for less than $40Misek's "Beverage Antenna Handbook" is generally
a good source , a few pieces of misinformation in there but that is what I use
. I currently have a "reversible" 470' beverage made this way and a 200' bog.
Also ON4UN's Low band dxing is invaluable read for beveragesThe only draw back
I have found with mine is getting good quality female F connectors. There are
reports that certain varmints like to chew the PVC jacket in the winter. But I
personally have not had problems.DaveNR1DXOn 5/8/2020 2:04 PM, Fred Moeves
