Topband: Beverage termination test.

[Bruce]

Harold Beverage and Clarence Hansell used an amp meter near the end of the wave antenna (Beverage) at  long wave station 1XAO at Belfast in the 1920's.   They found that as the termination value was changed to the correct value, more RF from the feed end came to the far end. When correctly terminated, more of the 10 mile Beverage was picking up signals from 5XX England. Hansell also did wave antenna transmit experiments in  1925.  (amp meters were not clamp on this time period.)  Clarence Hansell's 1920's Belfast Maine log book is available at Stony Brook College.
