HNY Topbanders!
Got a question about the two-wire Beverage antennas....
Assuming that:
1. Two identical 2-wire Beverages, separated by, say 270 feet...
2. Each has a "Beverage box" that is identical...
3. Each has a reflection transformer that is identical...
4. The coax lines connecting the two Beverages to meet
at a central point are the same electrical length and impedance...
5. The coax is matched to the connected loads...
6. Both antennas are being operated in the "PUSH-PULL" mode...
receiving from the "back" or "near" direction of the antenna....
If all the above is true, then would it make any difference if
one of the two-wire lines on one of the antennas is "turned over"?
By "turned over" I mean that the wire between the Beverage
components are connected like this:
Reflection XFMR / 2-wire line / Beverage box
Terminal 'A' / line wire 'A' / terminal 'A' on the first antenna, then
Terminal 'A' / line wire 'A' / terminal 'B' on the second antenna.
and so forth.
73!
