[Elecraft] Antenna

[Stuart Rohre]

Hi Earl,

My comments about galavanized wire antennas I have used being lossy was in
the original query context of combined receiving and transmitting antennas.

Of course, the Beverage receiving antenna is a wave antenna, and the loss of
galvanized distributes the needed terminating resistance throughout the wire
slowing the wave.

I have a buddy here who has numerous Beverages for 80/160 (big acreage) he
and ON4UN have similar set ups.  Will have to ask him if he considered
galvanized.  I have up to this point been thinking his were copper.
Good suggestion, thanks,
