Hello Ron,
Beverage antennas operate as "traveling wave" and not "standing wave"
(not to be confused with SWR two different things). The results are the
beverage is _physically horizontal, but electrically vertical_.
Important because of the need of low angle of radiation that vertical
antenna provides.
This is a long topic, but read about "traveling wave" and then this will
become clear.

I recently read, from Tom, W8JI, that the beverage antenna is vertically
polarized. I'm hoping someone might explain this to me. Intuitively seems it
would be horizontal.
From here:http://w8ji.com/polarization_and_diversity.htm
Under Best diversity receive antennas.
Thanks
