Two questions.
I have 75 acres to play with and would like to put in beverage antennas. However, there is very little flat land here. I can run the beverages in a straight line but they will follow land that can vary as much as 150 ft in elevation. How effective would those beverages be? Should I continue relying on loops?
Has anyone ever done analysis on a full wave or larger loop with two wires; electrically tuning one of the wires either higher or lower to create a 2 element antenna that might possibly have a lower angle of radiation and maybe some gain? I can get to a height of around 80 feet but that is too low for 160.
Thanks,
