Floating the shield may even make it work better?

Has anyone on the reflector ACTUALLY tried two wire audio twisted pair for a 2 wire, two direction Beverage antenna. If yes, how did it work ? Notice any added directional properties?


There is no reason why it won't work or why shielded wire won't work with proper transformers and wiring.

The only potential issues are losses as a transmission mode and the impedance change in transmission line mode when wet.
