Hi Bruce,
My temporary 8-circle vertical array re-installed every fall/winter
season on a borrowed 4 acre farm field 1200 feet south of the full
size transmit 4-square provides lots of exercise too! :) Lots more
fun than exercise machines.
I know, its not a Beverage... But it definitely is an amazing receiving
antenna
I still have a few 580 foot Beverage backup antennas.

Subject: Topband: Beverage antenna in woods.
Here in mid-coast Maine, the big wet snow storm is starting to melt. The East
Beverage was not hearing 4T4TA well, and an inspection found breaks and
multiple large branches on the wire.
Two support poles were also down under very large branches. Large branches here
can have the diameter of trees of some localities. Sliding wire schemes are
good, but when a support pole gets slammed on both side of an insulator at the
same time, it does not always work.
Beverages in the woods can help us old guys get the exercise we need. (; > ))
