Antenna was tested in the Air and showed very good
result. The antenna was compared with fence Beverage Antenna described
in the Reference
3, 4. Two Wires Beverage Antenna gives over 2 units
on the S- Meter of ICOM- 7410 on 160 and 80 meters, 2- 1.5 units
on 60, 40 and 30 meter, and near 1 unit on 15, 17 and 10 meter.
Two Wires Beverage Antenna could receive
ham station from NA, SA and Europe and Asia from 160- to 10 meter.
I tested the antenna in CQ DX TEST with satisfied result. The
antenna is grounded from both ends that makes it safety in lighting
time and effectively drain atmospheric static to the ground. Figure 13
shows the Two Wires Beverage Antenna on my backyard.
