More specifically, there is a very specialised report from the
Communications Research Centre in Ottawa titled "Beverage Antennas for
HF Communications, Direction Finding and Over-the horizon Radars" (CRC
Report #1282 - August 1976). This gives in vol2 all sorts of
parameters for HF beverage-type antennae. Gain, takeoff angle,
beamwidth, impedance etc as a function of ground type/condition, wire
length, wire height above ground etc. One VERY good read.
