Topband: Bev-Flex 4 Beverage system

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I have heard that a 450 ohm ladder line reversible Beverage can be fed 
in the center or even off center without any negative effect.  This is 
something I would like to do but have never seen any write up on the way 
it is done.  I presume it would require a reflection transformer and 
ground on each end.  But the means of feed the wires at the center or 
off center has be puzzled.  Is the matching transformer fed across the 
wires or is between and open space on one of the two wires? Is ta ground 
required at the feed point?

Anyone who has done this with a two wire reversible....please let me know.

Thanks,

Her Schoewnbohm, KV4FZ
