We had one member here, some years ago, who took his Drake SW-2 out
of town, found a stretch of Interstate highway with a steel guard rail,
and connected to that for what became an approximation of a Beverage
that was, in one case, about 12 miles long. He reported some
interesting results



I bet the guard rail didn't remain very straight across an expanse of
roughly twelve miles (though you could find relatively straight guard
rails of that length in some places).


Don't they use those primatily on curves?


Not when the interstate is elevate above ground level. There are some above
average terrain runs that have guard rail in a straight line going on
forever.
