can a beverage be folded?
 

All,

I moved again. My new trailer is located near the center of a fence
180 meters length. Best way to take advantage of this using a beverage
for receiving?

Thanks in advance,

Best way to use this is as a center fed dipole... Make it as long as
you can with equal lengths... A tuner will help with rejecting strong
broadcastr stations...

Yes, you can feed a two wire Beverage at the center, with reflection
transformers at each end. The feed transformer will have two ports,
which will provide directional RX antennas in two directions.

I used one for a few years to good effect on Topband.

I know that it was in Vic Misek's Beverage book, and I think it's
in the ON4UN book as well.

Well, ya gotta read between the lines... He wants a low noise receive
antenna.. Unless his desired listening directions coincide with the
fence line a beverage is not the solution... A low dipole is a good
antenna for an omni directional, low noise, receive antenna..

Yes, but he asked specifically about using the fence to
mount a Beverage, so I provided an answer that
applied specifically to a Beverage. Since Beverages
are directive, that's what he gets.

Why would you assume that he doesn't know that a
Beverage is directive? Every web page and every published
reference about the Beverage starts off with a description that
it is a directive receiving antenna.

Yes, I wanted a Beverage for 160m but did not know how to implement if
I was
in the center rather than the edge.

Questions re your implementation:
1) What is a reflection port, and how is this built differently than
using a
termination resistor?

2) Is the coupling port a pair of 9:1 baluns on the same ferrite core?

Thanks,
