[TowerTalk] Beverage Antenna

[Chuck Dietz]

I think there is some disagreement about the necessity to slope the ends to
the ground as I used to do.  There was a discussion on here about it. The
intent of sloping then wire was to minimize the vertical component which
would pick up noise and signals from all directions.  I mulled it over and
decided a sloping wire has the same vertical area as a vertical wire, so I
went with vertical at the ends and thus made the Beverage slightly longer.
Those more versed in the physics of it may correct me.
