At my place the two beverages I am using, 160m to NW, 120m to NE are only good for decent signals. The real weak ones I can only copy with my vertical which is an elevated GP (top loaded tower) fed against a single radial at the 21m level.

In other cases with the VKs, the beverages were better but not by much. I am wondering why this is the case. Beverages make a big difference to other directions. The transmit antenna is 100ft shunt-fed tower with beam on top, and 36 radials. Beverages are 500-600 ft about 7 ft up in 7 directions, all but S.
