Topband: Best Height Above Ground for a Beverage RX Antenna

[Peter Koehler]

New to beverage antennas, I've been reading your posts with interest. It 
seems all agree that lower is better. My problem is that I have to have 
a 10-12 ft high beverage (people and Elk). I was wondering if anyone has 
tried to put a grounded wire 2-3 ft below their entire beverage. As Milt 
did over his arroyo runs. Would this change the apparent height above 
ground?  If so how did it play? I'll give it a try when the weather 
warms a bit. Also what does YMMV stand for?
