Thanks for the input guys.  Very helpful.  I guess those emails don't show up 
here (private)?   New to this system.

Forget what I said about dipole radiating right off the ends of the line - 
straight out..  I thought I read that in one of my books and it said that most 
people didn't know that.. but it looks like I misread it or something because I 
can't find anything on Internet supporting that.   Just broadside to wire.

AA0RS might have been directional - and not in my direction :-)

Filters..  possibly filtering out the signal by accident or operator error :-)

Using a TS-570G and I'm thinking about using my Yaesu 987 for Beverage?  Easier 
than trying to remember to switch antennas?

Any have any comments on grounding needs with beverage over hard volcanic ash 
rock and dry bushes on a mountain... 

Just run a bunch of radials on the ground.   Drill in a copper rod as far as 
possible to hold down radials?
