Hi All I measured the SWR in my beverage antenna; the SWR fluctuates between 1.5 and 3 in a range of 1.8 to 7 MHz. (See: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9AtNpPfAOUMRDNsaXROMG1VUTg?usp=sharin

Based on my field installed beverages experience, I would say this is exactly what I always read on my ant analyzer. Ground and local air/bush moisture level changes, like after rain or such, will af

Mark, I'm planning to have the termination value adjustment excercice for F/B maximisation using a BC station signal. However, does SWR measurement have to do also with the termination value? Or that

Hi Ash, Some info: - SWR curve median will always slowly rise. No action; this has to do with parameters which slowly affect at higher freq. That is rather irrelevant on the lowbands 160-80-40 - Term

Hello Ash! For a broadband RX antenna, that match looks good. Exactly what I see with my AIM analyzer when looking at my BOGs. Don't mess with it. 73 Lloyd - N9LB Hi All I measured the SWR in my beve

Hello Ash, Your results are normal for a typical Beverage. Receiving performance is not significantly degraded by imperfect matching of the coaxial feedline to the Beverage feed point or by non-optim

I guess Ashraf wants the BC signal just to optimize for f/b, so no local signal or interference. SWR is irrelevant with a beverage, everything below 3 will be OK and it does its job with higher SWR a

Hi Mark, Peter, The BC station to be used to minimize the back lobe would be in Egypt or Saoudi Arabia right on the back of my beverage antenna. That should offer signals coming well above 10deg (I p

Hi Ash, I see that you are evaluating your Beverage antenna by using SWR. Have you actually adjusted the termination resistance to null medium-wave broadcasters located off the back end of the antenn

Hi Ash, Hello All, As a long time Beverage user, I can definitely say that the performance can be enhanced by having good ground at the termination resistor end of a beverage. Operating from Aruba in

Groundwave BC signals arrive at 0 degrees; you want to adjust FB at incoming skywave (10< >50 degrees) signals instead What reference you should use depends on your QTH and the first wave of incomin

Good point Rick. But that zoomes-out the topic. What priorities does Ash' beverage need to cover, like: lowering local noise (groundwave) lowering incoming skywave noise; QRN and/or QRM the need to '
