The Wonderful Beverage Antenna

Kizhi. Special Stamped Envelope

The Beverage SWR was raised to 1,8:1 at 160, 80 and 40- m after cutting off the counterpoises. Anyway the Beverage worked perfect on these ranges. In another week later a herd of Gipsy horses, which is rushing through the island, destroyed the Beverage

Results of the Beverage: Well, what is possible to say about the Beverage? Certainly, we had mentioned the small efficiency of the Beverage at transmitting mode at low HF- bands 160 and 80 (and sometimes 40-m) meters. But on the upper HF- bands 30- 10 meters the Beverage worked very well. Sometimes the Beverage worked better the double squares for 20-10-m. Certainly, it is only subjective opinion of the members of our expedition. All members the pedition were agreed, that the Beverage should be used at next peditions.

P.S: Some readers familiar with the history of the USSR have paid attention for the date of our expedition. It was before August putsch 1991, after which lots changes came...
