Are beverage antennas useful at 10Mhz (length adjusted for frequency).
Do they still have the same pattern?
Do you still place them 6 to 10ft off the ground?
Still the same termination resistance and input impedance?
Thanks for the info.

The only reason I have never liked an antenna that terminates in a carbon
resistance? Or, a resistor constructed in a manner to eliminate
capacitance and inductive reactance?

Well, it simply looks too much like the dummy load I use now and then ...

Why go to all that work (generating a good wave) just to heat the
environment?

This should compete for the honors in the category of most ignorant
statement of the month :-)

Some study of traveling wave antennas and reception techniques should be in
order.

Beverage type of antennas allow to hear stuff that other "miraculous"
antennas can't touch especially on low bands.

See www.TeslaRadio.org and click on PHOTOS and W8LRL to see some 3000 ft
phased and staggered "dummy loads".
