ARRL Antenna Book says Beverage antennas are strictly for receiving.
Yet, I hear MANY hams report using one, presumably for transceiving.
What gives?

Hi John,

Sometimes the negatives, like loss, are offset by success in spite of
them. For instance, using just one antenna even though your 100W
translates into something far less and you can still be copied. This
simply proves you can work a contact with milliwatts. A friend of
mine held a long QSO from Seattle to Alaska on her dummy load, so a
Beverage would have been seen as a high gain alternative.
