At my station it is extremely rare for a Beverage to hear better on 40m
than my yagis.

## so it?s a bunch of tradeoffs, depending on bands covered, length of
beverage etc.
I have zero experience with beverages...so don?t know if a beverage would
work
any better
than a 80m rotary dipole or not..on RX. I cant see any beverage working
better than a 40m yagi either.
It depends on the definition of 'better'. No, a Beverage won't give you as
strong a signal as a 40m Yagi, but it may give you much better copy than a
Yagi
due to better directionality and lower noise pickup.
