Milverton,
Not practical for LF reception.
While the beverage is an excellent and directional receive antenna, it
must be at least 1 wavelength long to be effective, longer is better.
One needs at least 2 oriented at right angles to cover all directions.
At 160 meters, 1 wavelength is about 530 feet - practical on some lots.
To have a beverage on 100kHz would require a length of 9540 feet -
almost 2 miles. Some ranchers in the US Southwest may have that kind of
space available, but not on even a large lot owned by a typical ham.
73,
