Topband: DXpedition Beverage Termination Grounding Schemes??

[GEORGE WALLNER]

On K1N we had two ~ 100 foot length radials at right angle at each end of 
the Beverage. Because of the thick bushes, the radials were about 3 feet 
above the rocky ground. The antenna worked reasonable well (18 JA QSO-s and 
hundreds of EU0-s.)
