When measuring & cutting wire to get Cone of Silence lengths for Beverages, do I assume rightly that the COS lengths recommended do NOT include the 15 to 20 meter sloping termination lengths at each

I believe the length of the feed should be included. I am not personally convinced that there is really a "cone of silence", but why not use these lengths in case there is such a beast. My impression

Don and Tom, My understanding of the operational characteristics of the Beverage antenna is that the use of sloping terminations eliminates the requirement of special efforts to cancel the reception

Sloping the ends of a Beverage is one of many antenna ideas that seem plausible, but do not hold up under further analysis. I know Tom W8JI has explained this before, but I'll try again... It doesn't

Gary, I understand also your view of the situation BUT, if this were true, then to my view entire Beverage antenna concept would be destroyed. Why? Because of the slope of a few degrees, both in the

Herb: I asked Tom a similar question recently. That is, could you reduce vertical pickup by folding the vertical downlead back toward the feedpoint at a 45 degree angle. In other words, reversing the

Regarding the discussion about either sloping the ends of the Beverage or dropping them straight down, my personal feeling is that if they slope, that makes the total length of the Beverage longer re

As a small point, I would have to disagree with the "deepest null" statements. Given a perfect termination (with both resistive and reactive components) the null depth can be made infinite, assuming
