Default Beverage Antenna, Noise pickup

The resistance
terminating the Beverage that produced the null was around 600 ohms. Because the matching resistive
termination rendered the Beverage a traveling-wave antenna with no standing wave, the signal from JOAK was
terminated by the input of our receiver, while the signal from KFI was dissipated in the matched resistance at
the Tokyo end of the Beverage-no KFI signal reflected toward the receiver.


Hi Walt,

A wonderful example of applied electronics revealing theoretical
issues (e.g. the Z of the Transmission Line built as an antenna).
