KAZ, I guess theory and the real world are two different animals. You may remember when you were here last Fall, you were concerned about the slope up that little hill with the beverage. I remember you pulled on it a bit. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that as I had to raise it so the farm equipt could be through. Gone is the old brokendown barbwire fence for the first 450 feet of the beverage. THen I do go back on the fence the rest of the way. But I guess a beverage with slopes in it is better than none. hi. Maybe with the sloping along the first 450 feet of the beverage, making little changes at both ends really has little effect anyway. Maybe I am splitting hairs as there is no perfect beverage in place here anyway. Even if I had a perfectly straight beverage from end to end, I still have the wet soil under it and not dry soil. But it is interesting that little changes I do make does make a difference in the directivity of the wire from frequency to frequency. Some channels have beautiful nulls to the sides, but maybe the next channel, the side lobes are worse. Of course like all of us, we want or lunch and eat it too. A perfect beverage on every channel is not in the real world. hi. I am just trying to improve on it. Do you think moving the matching transformer and coax up on the limb in the backyard, so the beverage running straight, would be worth the work? Of course adding a couple ground rods over under the beverage would throw the impediance off a bit, so the directivity of the beverage may change anyway. hi.
