Topband: Beverage construction problem solved

[Mike Waters]

Glad to hear that you solved this. :-) If everything's working you'll
notice a BIG difference in hearing low-angle weak signals 800 miles away, *and
especially way beyond that distance!* It's all about improving your RX S/N
ratio.

If you don't, then where is your Beverage pointed, and what state are you
in? My signals from SW MO are only about 10 dB down (when pointed towards
Europe, for example). You'll see why I'm asking this at
