In short:
If you can't put up a beverage, go for the T2FD.
It comes in as a good second, giving fine signal strengths while at the
same time being quiet. And fairly resistant to man-made noise.
But a beverage is unbeatable for reception on any shortwave band. And it's
fantastic on the tropical bands. Even if it is 600 meters long, 10
wavelengths on 60 meter.
