Hi Kent,
A small ravine will have no significant effect, at worst just a slight degradation of the front-to-side ratio. You can either follow the contour of the land or run the wire horizontally across the small ravine, whichever is more convenient. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kent Olsen" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2021 12:05:34 AM Subject: Re: Topband: Free QST article: The Beverage Antenna, 100 Years Later Frank I have been considering a Beverage antenna. I have enough property that goes up a hill. My concern is I would have to go over a small ravine, about 30 feet deep. Would this have a detrimental effect? Thanks 73 Kent N6WT On Sun, Oct 17, 2021 at 3:53 PM < [email protected] > wrote: Ward, N0AX and I prepared this Beverage article for November QST. www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This%20Month%20in%20QST/2021/11%20November%202021/Silver%20Donovan.pdf Unlike all other articles in this month's QST, this article is free.
