Hi Ed,
Thank you for that info. My beverages, aka "Tree-catchers", worked well
in the past but they were excruciating to maintain constantly. Then
when the Deer Tick population exploded about 20 years ago, it became
hazardous. I have been avoiding that ever since but realize that I may
have no choice except to reconsider.

Bob, I have a similar situation here. I just run the beverage wire
approximately following the ground contour - however steep and
undulating -
about 6 - 8 ft off of the ground. My ground is thin topsoil over
ledge.
Beverages low poor ground conductivity.

TY Alan and John for that. Unfortunately my ledge has little if any
ground
conductivity and is extremely uneven with 45+ degree hills and ridges
and
ravine dropoffs everywhere. The only areas that are flat enough are
either
on my neighbors lawns or my septic field or far too close to my
transmit
antennas. And none of that will work.
It's quite a challenge here!
