On my bucket list is a system for remotely changing the lengths of my two 2-wire Beverages between 580 and ~800 feet long.

I was going to try this with my modified MFJ-1025 noise canceller, which I haven't used since I moved to this QTH. I also wanted to input unwanted signals from a separate Beverage into the MFJ-1025, to deepen the nulls from the selected Beverage.
