Fred,
I just put up a 600 ft beverage with 17 ga. fence wire after reading those
reflector posts about beverages last month. It cost me less than $10 for the
wire, and I am absolutely amazed by the performance. Everyone is perfectly
right calling it a "magic antenna". That's on 160. You should hear it on
40..... Wow!

Absolutely you can! Earl, K6SE (SK) swore by it. I have two bi-directional
Beverages made from that stuff, which are described in detail at
