Well you can use a Beverage antenna for SW as well. I might have to
put
one across the way here in a few days when I get some more material.
The idea of a Beverage is to have a multiple wavelength antenna.
Multiple
wavelengths on SW frequencies are much shorter, and many longwires are,
in
essence, possesing those properties already.


- No that would not be correct.
- A Beverage is a special case antenna
- different from long wire antenna.

A Beverage is a specific kind of long wire, generally wavelength or
multiples, which can operate well low off the ground (MW Beverages are often
on sticks in the ground) and is grounded at one end and end, not center,
fed. Like other antennas, they can be used in multiples to create
directional patters and "moving" directionality by means of a phasor.
