Sweet. 

No room for beverages here. Perhaps the next QTH. The K9AY loops will have to do in the meantime.

Since I got my Beverage installed here at the new NC station last week I've been using it for the second receiver antenna, and the effects can range from subtle to downright startling (one station in the left ear and a completely different station in the right), even on signals from close-in stations. The 350 foot Beverage is even useful on 20 meters. For sure, it really helps reception in fast QSB situations.

It's a little weird listening this way, as signals tend to move around your head a bit. I'm definitely sold.
