Topband: Free QST article: The Beverage Antenna, 100 Years Later

[donovanf at erols.com]

Hi Kent, 


A small ravine will have no significant effect, at worst just a slight 
degradation of the front-to-side ratio. You can either follow the 
contour of the land or run the wire horizontally across the small 
ravine, whichever is more convenient.

I have been considering a Beverage antenna. I have enough property that goes up a hill. My concern is I would have to go over a small ravine, about 30 feet deep. Would this have a detrimental effect?
