Hi,
	I'm looking for specifics about winding the three
transformers for the bidirectional two wire Beverage antenna
described in the 1996 ARRL antenna book (or an equivalent).
	I wonder if I should take care to isolate the feedline 
of this type of Beverage as for the single wire type?  That
is, should I plan on having a coax coil choke or some other form
of choke balun at the feedpoint? 
	For a short Beverage (1wl on 80m, to use on 80 and 40m) 
would it be worthwhile to put a preamp at the feedpoint? At the 
operating position? 
	Happy holidays to all.

Regards,
Pete
