Taking the chance to show my ignorance :) Here is my thinking. While adding cores along the length of a beverage may make it appear electrically longer, how can that help its performance?
I'd think that the true mechanical length is what matters. Each inch/ foot/ meter of the wire is what "gathers" the signal. A 300' (actual length) will gather more signal than a 200' beverage. Making it look electrically longer won't change this will it? Same as a 100' tall tower will be a better transmitting antenna than a 43' one.
