Thanks Herb and Mike
Option a) will be the direction for a new reversible beverage, so hope that
this terrain slopes will not affect it very much
Thanks!

I suppose I should offer some comments on my experiences operating
from a coastal Maine QTH.
My contest station is on an island about 5 miles offshore from
Portland, ME. The island is 3 miles long, about a half-mile wide, and
lies along a line that runs pretty much NE-SW. My house is at the NE
Hello
How terrain slopes affect the performance of a beverage?
For example, a 800 ft long beverage, with different ground conditions:
a) the land at that distance of 800 feet go down and up, from a height of
400 feet ASL where beverage start, at half the beverage is at a height of
300
This is purely anecdotal. I visited San Andres Providencia Islands
twenty times between 1970 and 1990. I always operated 160 during those visits.
On three occasions, at three different locations, I set up a 43 foot
Minooka Special within 30 feet of the waters edge and had some radials
Beverages are very forgiving to such circumstances but I would think
that C would be the best choice. I have used such a Beverage in the
past exactly like this and found the performance on TB to be adequate.

Hello
I know this is a bit off topic but I honestly dont know where else to go with
something like this and any help would be appreciated but since it is off topic
please respond via email and off reflector.
I am looking for any information regarding three amateur call signs from over
100 years
I think they would all work, Jorge. Just keep the distance between the
earth and the wire as constant as you are able to.
And, of course, orient the Beverages so that they point within about 35 or
40 degrees either side of the desired DX's compass heading.
