[TowerTalk] Beverage Layout Problem

[Edward Sawyer]

I would bring them in with the shortest run of coax, tie the #2 to your
ground at entrance for the lowest feedline loss and use low loss feedline
(also helps with noise pick up – remember “snake antennas”?).  Then if you
want to enhance RF ground, add 2 – 180 deg opposite ¼ wave ground wires at
the grounding stake of the control box for each band of interest.  I use
mine on 20 – 160M and have 2 radials for each.

 

If you have terminating resistors for directivity, you should consider the
grnd radials on the end point grnd stakes as well.
