Rick, In my case all of my 12 Beverage feedlines come back to the 20
feet from the shack where they go through double 3 inch toriods to a
single common ground between the center connection of those chokes. I
am doing this hoping to avoid common mode noise pickup. In the ham
shake the go

Hi Barry
But it's taking up a lot of band width for no apparent reason.
in my own humble opinion, any further discussion is a waste of
cyberspace.
I, for one, have not found it boring. I don't believe we now know all
there is to know, and text does not take much file space. Some just
Wow, I thought this reflector was for topics pertaining to
Top-Band. I for one have enjoyed the lively exchange of
ideas and views in the recent radial exchange. I do believe
that something was gained for top-band as a result.
Exactly what this reflector is for. I took a moment and

I am looking for a db here or there which i
probably will never see. IMHO the Beverage grounds, or lack thereof
being radially impoverished, i have gravitated to high impedance feed
antennas, the one at present is a tree mounted 120 up 130 over.
i have installed three wall switches to be able to choose (one or all) of

It seems to me what your asking here is how much
crosstalk you would see between two Beverage
antennas. How about just using a signal source and
exciting one beverage while listening on the other.
This could be a most enlightening measurement not only
for the ground rods but for the
There is no need to transmit to test your antenna. Received signal strength
will do.
With skywave antenna measurements there can be significant measurement
variability. Multiple measurements like so should be used. Antenna
A,B,C,A,B,C,A,B,C. Plot the data and you can see trends.

Some people would rather play with antennas than get on the air, if that's
their thing go for it. ME I would rather get on the air and work stations.
I just let my auto tuner make the rig happy losses on 160 are not that high.
But then I remember a time when I needed a station on 24 Mhz so I

Just my observation. If a ground is broken on either end, it will work in
one direction and not the other. I have 3 bidirectional ones here. I have
not noticed any change whether there are 2 ground rods or 4 at each end. But
if one ground gets totally broken it's get out of the chair right now
Hi Everyone,
There are good antennas and everything in between. But the big variable is
propagation. I have been on this band for about 18 or 20 years. I can not
tell you how many hours I have waited for the deep QSB fades to cease just
to work a KP2 from AZ to get another mult. The bottom line
