Topband: Beverages and VK

[K9FD]

Did you try all the other direction beverages you have?
In the past 20 years of operating here in KH6 I find many times
EU comes through over central america, not over USA, and its
hard as heck to tell EU to listen that direction.  Same with signals
from the northwest,   I hear  lot of stations coming from the west instead
of northwest etc.   very skew path.
so switching to a dipole helps,  not with angle but with direction,
if one had a beverage on that skew path one would find the beverage
works quite well.
Lot of variables and as they say you never have enough antennas for
receive.
