Hi Guy,
No Beverage antennas here, just unterminated longwires, but decent
length--1600' for E/W; only 400' for N/S. The E/W runs east so it's 'over
the shoulder' for the west; N/S runs south. I use the E/W for all TA LWBC
reception; I switch to a 35 x 75 terminated Conti loop for TA MW reception.
(I use the E/W longwire for TP MW reception too.)
I have two ALA100 120' circumference loops up too, one N/S and one E/W. They
work fine, but are no comparison to the longwires, even the short 400' one.
I'm definitely spoiled with being able to have the longwires, and never
forget how fortunate I am to be able to have them.
73,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I know you have some lengthy Beverage antennas running due West, but what
do
you use for your TA receptions, particularly longwave?
