Hi guys,

I also have a question about Beverages.  I have heard in the past that they
work best over lousy soil, but are not so great over good soil.

Having just moved to Christchurch, ZL, from ZS, I find that the soil here is
very conductive, with a water table only a foot or two down at the most.
What is the feeling of the Reflector, will a Bev work or not?  I will
certainly try one anyway, but I'd like to hear the predictions first.

73, Greg, ZL3IX (ex ZS5K)
