Default Beverage Ant. at ShortWave freq.

Are beverage antennas useful at 10Mhz (length adjusted for frequency).
Do they still have the same pattern?
Do you still place them 6 to 10ft off the ground?
Still the same termination resistance and input impedance?
Thanks for the info.

The only reason I have never liked an antenna that terminates in a
carbon resistance? Or, a resistor constructed in a manner to eliminate
capacitance and inductive reactance?

Well, it simply looks too much like the dummy load I use now and then ...

Why go to all that work (generating a good wave) just to heat the
environment?
