Dave, my guess is u won't make the beverages Rx as well as the
4 square. Back in the day (1980) I had the 4 sq on 75/80 mtrs & Rx
was its strong point. I had beverages too. I had friends with beverages
calling on 2mtrs saying "are u really hearing that station" ?
Only on 40 & 160 did the beverages do better hee-hee. I'd be
interested to know if you're able to get the bevs to equal the 4sq.
