[TowerTalk] Beverage Antenna

[David Robbins]

##  so it’s a bunch of tradeoffs, depending on bands covered, length of  beverage etc. 
I have zero experience with beverages...so don’t know if a beverage would work any better
than a 80m rotary dipole or not..on RX.   I cant see any beverage working better than a 40m yagi either.

It depends on the definition of 'better'.  No, a Beverage won't give you as strong a signal as a 40m Yagi, but it may give you much better copy than a Yagi due to better directionality and lower noise pickup.
