Topband: Will a short beverage work?

[James Rogers]

Top Banders,

I live on a 100x200 suburban lot. I have an inverted L up 70 feet and  
across 60 ft. It's not much of a RX antenna.

Here is the question.

Would it be worth it for me to put up an approximate 190-200 foot  
beverage aimed at Eu for RX?  Will it work? Will it be better than my  
Inv L on RX?

I can also put up an ~ 160 ft beverage aimed at JA, UA0, UA9 ... would  
the short bev be better than my inverted L on RX?

Thanks for your input,

Jim N4DU


p s - I'd be using the Array Solutions SWSD-1 bev box
