Was playing with my beverage today and noticed I have no front to back
when using a distant AM radio signal source as a reference when I
terminate and un terminate the beverage.  The beverage is abt 560 feet
long and 6 feet off the ground.  I am using an ICE  matching transformer
and load with taps for 300,450,600 and 900 ohms.Does not seem to matter
where I set the taps on each end and terminate and unterminate the
antenna.  I have abt 12 70 foot radials at the feed end and 4 70 foot
radials at the termination end.  Is this normal??
