Bill, For a bi-directional Beverage, the termination resistor does not go at the far end, regardless of whether you feed it with one coax or two. A reflection transformer goes at the far end, and two other transformers go at the feed end.
They can be put one above the other, but I would not do it at a 12" spacing as it could cause unbalance and a degraded F/B ratio. We have an explanation about that at http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html#How_far_apart 73, Mike http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 12:24 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Planning on putting up 880 footers.
