Chuck,  I have here both DXE and KD9SV reverse Beverage system running in 
the same directions for both Europe and NA both are excellent products and 
numerous tests show no perceptible difference in performance.  I have also 
run numrous tests against single wire Beverages for nearly a year and again 
there is no noticeable difference in signals received,.  All the Beverages 
are 600 feet long  run over a former hay field at a height of 6. feet ABG.
