[Antennas] Beverage On Ground

[David Ring]

1.  Yes
2.  No - the antenna will be bi-directional but won't have the problem
with matching resistance.   The resistance will vary from 540 kHz to
1,900 kHz and you'd have to add radials for the ground system.  With
no resistor you can use a hose reel and string out the antenna in your
favorite direction.
