Hi Bill and All,

This is interesting, because the general response a few weeks ago
to someone who suggested a counterpoise wire under a Beverage
was "don't do it".
It would be very interesting to see results of an A-B test between a
Beverage over a counterpoise, and one not over a counterpoise, at
the same location.
Has anyone actually A-B'ed a system like this, and seen a clear
difference with and without a counterpoise, which is certainly what
any metal fence would be....grounded or not.... ?
