Hi John, 


The Beverage on Ground is not new at all, Beverage's experimental 
Wave Antenna -- which came to be known as the Beverage Antenna -- 
w as a pair of insulated wires two miles long laid on the ground and 
fed into a phasing and balancing network, a progenitor of 
DX Engineering's NCC-2 Receive Antenna Phasing System. 


See the transcript of of the interview of Harold H. Beverage where 
he describes the initial development:

Yes and no..... 

Computer modeling has improved antenna design tremendously, and that is 
definitely new. There are all sorts of new variations: 

* G0KSC (and others) yagi designs 
* Broadband aluminum half-wave vertical designs from GAP 
* Broadband dipoles including the OCFD (look for an upcoming book) 
* Improved baluns with much better characteristics 
* Beverage on ground 

to name a few off the top of my head.
