I've always figured that the North American DX Season kicks off with Labor

So now is the time to get those antenna projects up in the air for the
2009-2010 DX Season!

Steve, do you still use those beverage antennas?

I remember seeing pics of it but it's been years
ago. If so, how high off the ground are/were
they?

Still using the 70' and 200' wires, transformer matched, They are 9' off the
ground using treated 4" x 4" x 12' posts sunk 3' in the ground.

They've been up for about eight years now I think.

Contemplating putting up either some inverted vee's or an Alpha Delta sloper so
that I might get somewhat better results out of South America.


Yeah, I remembered after I posted that they
were wires. I remember the pics, I'd like to have
that setup going north, but the topography won't
allow it.

I can go east to west and to south with no problem.
I'm sure you know that I use the AD sloper and like
Dave and Drifter said it is a very good antenna,
extremely quiet.

You don't even have to get it very high, but because
of my lack of a north setup, I put mine up extremely
high. Once I did that I noticed the difference on my
signals to the north, a bonus add - on for that antenna is that it's a
great on the BCB also.
