Asunto: Topband: 2 wire reversible Beverage

Getting ready to put up a 2 wire reversible Beverage and I have a few 
questions and looking for some ideas…

Sorry I’m sure this subject has been beat to death… I did some searches 
but didn’t find what I was looking for.

My understanding is the wires need to be in the horizontal plane to keep 
everything balanced.

Also I am assuming I can use THHN wire and twist it together and then 
put both wires on one insulator.

Or another way would put insulators on the side of trees and separate 
them by a couple of inches…like ladder line.

Just wondering which way would be easiest to build and give the best 
performance?

To me it would seem to easier to put 2 wires together on just one insulator.

I will be installing this on the trees in a heavily wooded area.

It seems building the antenna with 2 wires and keeping them parallel and 
same distance from the ground will not be easy.

Thanks

Fred KB4QZH
