The short answer is simple. Beverage antenna is really a transmission line with
all proprieties of a transmission line, in one side is terminated by a load and
on the other side by a transformer. The difference in speed of the signal, and
the arriving wave angle of incidence, on the in the open air wire, and in the
second wire, that is actually the ground, generates a current that travels on
the direction of the arriving wave.
The wave near the ground interacts with matter (ground) and it is reflected
back, the vertical component has a positive phase and adds to the incident
vertical component and generate the current that travel the transmission line
(wire+ground). The Horizontal component has a negative phase and cancel the
horizontal component and the result is no current is generated.
