Hi Jay, once again beverages dont work everywhere ....they do really require
poor ground to operate well.

Having a muse about Jays's comments it occurs to me that the Beverage is a
travelling-wave antenna so is not resonant. If any of its directional
characteristics depend on it length then surely it is not acting as a true
Beverage ??

Finbar has has success with a low long antenna (900feet) on 136 and NDB
frequencies though once again his was mounted on the sea shore so not over
poor ground.
