I have a pair of 900 ft parallel beverages to the NE. The feed point of the beverages is approximately 350 ft from the closest of the 2 T verticals. The T verticals pattern is directly towards the beverage array since both point NE. Obviously the beverages go away from the array to the NE.
I can transmit with 1.5kW and be listening 15khz away with the preamp off on the beverage antenna and hear very well but with some interference (maybe s5 - 6). At 25 - 30khz away I can hear the noise floor while transmitting. You hear the thumping of the noise but its not increasing the meter. This is with a 250khz wide filter. The 2 radios are FT1000MPs sharing the same beverage with a 3db splitter. On SSB, the interference is worse and I have to add about 10dB of pad to the above.
