Ive had 150' 2 wire Beverage made from factory twisted #18 PVC up since the
fall and shows excellent directivity on 40/30/20M. It is used over at the
vintage boatanchor bench. Starts right at the house above the basement
station window and runs to a property line. Shares the radials from a 600
Thanks for the input I have one Beverage using WD-1A also.
Audio wire is and has been used in Radio & TV stations that I have worked.
It is constructed to reject AC hum and RF into the pair. It works
extremely well. Theories are easy--remember when we had to lay radials
enough to achieve 36
I would like to see if anyone actually tried the wire, and if it rejected
any portion of RF signals.
How would someone measure "rejected any portion of RF signals" in a
meaningful, quantitative, way?

Has anyone on the reflector ACTUALLY tried two wire audio twisted pair for
a 2 wire, two direction Beverage antenna. If yes, how did it work ? Notice
any added directional properties?
There is no reason why it won't work or why shielded wire won't work with
proper transformers and wiring.
Floating the shield may even make it work better?
This shield could be used as the antenna, and the inner pair as the
transmission line. That would work fine.

Herb and Bruce and whoever else may be interested. I am presently using
both WD-1A and twisted pair (see attached picture) and both perform the same
with transformer set designed for 120 ohms. The most recent DX worked on
the twisted pair was HS0ZKX from the SW direction (reverse direction) and

If Cat 5 cable will work why won't two wire twisted air audio cable? Is
it because of the tightness of the twist that is of concern. I see no
reason it won't work except for the cancellation property of twisted
pair but with a Beverage we are dealing with a different wire signal
propagation med
Intriguing question ?
