Beverages don't have to be perfect to work, but they should at least be "sort of" straight.

An easy way to support them when there's no convenient support is to cut 10 ft pieces of rebar into 5 ft lengths, shove them halfway into the ground, and slide lengths of 3/4-in PVC conduit over them. Drill 1/4-in holes in the top of the PVC and ty-wrap the Beverage wire to the PVC. It's also possible to simply lay the Beverage over high (or even low) brush.

I was wondering how much curve (if any) would I be able to get away with when 
installing my beverage antenna.  I've 5 acres and there are good sized oaks and 
pecan trees which are laid out somewhat in a question mark configuration.   I 
could run the wire at about 10' high for a distance of 600'.
