Beverage line

Beverage receive antenna helper

Suggests Beverage long-wire length, wavelength multiple and characteristic impedance for typical heights.

Terminate the far end with a non-inductive resistor equal to the calculated impedance for uni-directional performance.

Best performance occurs between one and three wavelengths; longer runs yield diminishing returns.
