Thank you to those of you who replied on and off reflector, I received the majority of replies (over 20) off reflector. Assuming our starting point is a Reversible Beverage, built to specification wi
Neil, You will find that there are directions that have less/more noise at a given time of day... That does not mean there is a fault in the antenna... At my qth in Michigan there are significant
Hello All: This was an interesting thread and I decided to do a little test. It was mentioned that on some reversible beverage installations that on the reverse direction there was a noticeable decre
It doesn't increase the impedance that much. I use 9 inch spacing of #14 wires which comes out with a couple ohms of 675 ohms, which is a nice 9:1 match to 75 ohm RG6. A 450 ohm to 700 ohm mismatch i
Jamie, I have the same setup, i.e., 2 #14 wires spaced 12". The impedance is about 750 ohms and there is a mismatch to the DXE system but I don't think it's enough to make a major difference in recei
The first question that comes to mind is whether the difference in signal strength is due to a fault on the Beverage, or a due to a difference in the signals from the two directions... The comment th
