If that beverage allows you to hear and work just one extra contact in a
contest and that is a multiplier you just worked hundreds of stations. Seems
worthwhile to me.

Merv,
I couldn’t agree more. As Merv says“It’s hard as heck to get EU to listen
on the skew path”.
Last year when the AU was fairly quiet, the direct EU polar path prevailed, but
in years past, the skew path was very common. This is also very true for the
deep Asia path (HS, 9M2 etc) from V

It depends on the situation. The 4SQ has a wider radiation lobe than the

Did you try all the other direction beverages you have?

Interesting observations with dipoles and high angle of arrival at
sunrise/sunset. But from graphs, the beverage also has a fairly high
radiation angle.

I am sure you will get lots of input on this - but my experience makes me
think that this is due to the angle the signals are coming in from. I
often think openings near my sunrise have a higher angle than normal and

Lately when I worked a VK on 160m, the transmit antenna antenna heard
better than beverages. In other cases with the VKs, the beverages were
better but not by much. I am wondering why this is the case. Beverages make
a big difference to other directions.
The transmit antenna is 100ft shunt-fed to
