Default beverage antennas for transmitting?

The "Beverage" antenna (proper name of the inventor), will work as a
transmit antenna, but is relatively lossy. it falls in the class of
traveling wave antennas and being so close to the ground it has very good
coupling to it which creates much of the loss. it can also be very
directional like any long wire with multiple lobes depending on length and
frequency.

Most of us old timers know the beverage antenna is quite effective as a
receiving antenna.
Has anyone used it as a transmitting antenna?
