[UK-CONTEST] longest beverage in the UK?

[Steve Knowles]

Quite possibly the longest feeder - you're halfway to the DX before you even 
reach the antenna !!

Seriously, the experts agree that the directivity of Beverages over two 
wavelengths long degrades considerably because of lack of phase coherence in 
the incoming signals.  You'd probably do better if you chopped it back to 
1000ft.

I'm still jealous, though!
