What has been the experience of a reversible Beverage? I am looking at building 
two of these to optimize the diagonal of my property and cover four directions.
I will have a 9:1 Balun  and a terminating resistor at each end; 
switchable/selectable  by a 12 VDC relay at each end; controlled in the shack. 
The uncharged direction will be the more popular direction which will be the 
normal setup; radio---9:1---antenna---terminating resistor--ground.
For voltage to the 12VDC relays, I will use an Ameritron control box, only, w/ 
floating ground,  feeding four control lines to the appropriate four relays.

Does anyone see any problems with this setup and if so, any remedy (ies)..?

Thanks for any / all critiques and ideas.

Mike, K5UO
