Topband: Two wire Beverage Question

[Mike Waters]

Hello Herb,

To me, this sounds like a termination problem. If the termination is missing
(or defective), there will be standing waves on the Beverage and at certain
frequencies it will act like a short at the end.

I know you said you swept the antenna on other frequencies, but I can't
think of anything else right now that it might be.

73, Mike
