I've always figured that the North American DX Season kicks off with Labor

So now is the time to get those antenna projects up in the air for the
2009-2010 DX Season!
Steve, do you still use those beverage antennas?
I remember seeing pics of it but it's been years
ago. If so, how high off the ground are/were
they?
Still using the 70' and 200' wires, transformer matched, They are 9' off the
ground using treated 4" x 4" x 12' posts sunk 3' in the ground.
They've been up for about eight years now I think.
Contemplating putting up either some inverted vee's or an Alpha Delta sloper so
that I might get somewhat better results out of South America.

The sloper's a great low-angle antenna, it likes a top-loaded support if
it can get it.
