The beverage antenna seems to be an excellent mw receiving antenna.

1) Is there a reasonable minimum length?

2) The beveage is supposed to be grounded through a resistor at the far
end. What type of resistor and how much ohmage?

Hello, and the chapter "Long Wire and Traveling Wave Antennas" in "The
ARRL Antenna Book" gives theory and practical Beverage antenna designs
for one- and two-wire types. For the case of a one-wire Beverage a
non-inductive terminating resistor in the range of 400-600 ohms is
typical. It should be emphasized, however, that the precise value of
the termination has to be determined by experiment for optimum rejection
of rearward signals. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
