Not to worry. Your Beverage will work fine, as long as you feed it, etc. properly. They are not critical. It has well and often been said that Beverages just "want to work".
My NE-SW 580' Beverage crosses a ravine wider than yours, not to mention running up and down a hill. Believe me, it hears very well indeed. Over the years, I have read a number of experiences of hams with Beverage antennas running up and down steep hills (some VERY steep) and crossing ravines, and absolutely NO ONE reported anything but good results. :-) When you cross a narrow stream or ravine like yours, there is no need to exactly follow the contour of the land. 73, Mike http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 5:59 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > a. cross a 8 ft wide stream > > b. run about 10-15 ft up a bank behind my house > _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
