Taking the chance to show my ignorance :)
Here is my thinking. While adding cores along the length of a beverage may
make it appear electrically longer, how can that help its performance?
I'd think that the true mechanical length is what matters. Each inch/ foot/
meter of the wire is what "gathers" the signal. A 300' (actual length) will
gather more signal than a 200' beverage. Making it look electrically longer
won't change this will it?
Same as a 100' tall tower will be a better transmitting antenna than a 43'
one.
