I'm using RG6 for my beverages. They are switched, bidirectional.
Performance seems to be equivalent to a single wire beverage. They can also
be deployed as a BOG. RG6 is cheap, and I built my own transformers and

Hi Pete,
The bad news is that 215 feet is not long enough to produce good performance
from a Beverage. It will work for a BOG, but that's not your best choice.
Could you install two or three short verticals over a total length

I am puzzled by the choice of the AD8055 for the amplifier.
It seems to be unprepared for strong BCB signals. Has

can. The Hi-Z arrays are also worthy of consideration.

I've just spent a very educational hour with Google Earth looking at my
Beverage options for 160M. On a 45/225 azimuth I can only get about 215
feet. Is that even worth doing with a conventional Beverage? What about
a BOG? Becaus

For the last two seasons, I had two 225' BOGs put out; one pointing NE, and
one pointing SE. They worked well. I also have a K9AY, and in general, I
like the K9AY performance better than the BOGs. And it provides 4
directions in a small footprint. Mine hangs from a tree branch. I found

A DHDL will fit in a lot less length and work better IMO than either
Beverage choice. You can put relays in small boxes at the feed
transformer and termination to flip the directivity with two feedlines.
If you have the width then a 4sq receive will beat any other choice in
215 ft. But, any
