Topband: Beverages

[Rick Karlquist]

I have 3 beverages in a triangle, with switch boxes at
the vertices connected to 3 separate coax runs.
I can feed any beverage from either end, giving me
6 directions spaced 60 degrees.  I will mention
that I bought 12,000 feet of coax from a surplus dealer
for 2 cents a foot, so the coax for this system was
practically free.
