"The Beverage was more than one-half mile long at a height of 10 feet, aimed directly at Tokyo, and terminated with a variable resistor." 2 wavelengths at 650 KHz is a little more than 1/2 mile and is likely the point of diminishing returns in lengthening a Beverage according to some reports. I used a Beverage in Portugal to listen to the CBS Nightly News from WCBS in New York or from WWL in New Orleans, whichever was better at the time. Both carried the same program and were adjacent points on the frequency dial. It worked like a charm using a SP-600. RFE constantly monitored news and commentary broadcasts from behind the "iron curtain" during the "cold war" from a receiving station in Germany. A multitower directional array and various super loopsticks were used to pick out the broadcasts monitored. These were more flexible than Beverages and many possible sources were available for programs to be monitored. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
