Dear OMs,
This is the maximum height and 0.05 is 1/20 so you should have a
maximum height of 13 feet. Not many people use the Beverages this high -
they may work but is performance impaired? The w8JI article is a good one.

## JI claims that max beverage height should be .05 wavelength.
That implies 26.86 feet. 492 / 1.832 = 268.55 feet.
268.55 / 10 = 26.86 feet.
## It would be interesting to know if you could use an existing
6 ft tall fence line and strap a 8-15 ft tall pvc tube to each
wooden fence post. At that height, it would be a bitch to install
the beverage wire. An orchard ladder might work.
