Re: [HCDX]: Beverage Antennas

re your question  "Does anyone know if the only reason to
terminate a beverage is to kill the signal off the other end?"

seems as if a secondary reason is to bleed off the high voltage that would build up on 
a long, long wire.

re: I have one running to the North and to the South is pretty
much ocean. California is more SSE.

I would think having your being uni directional and rejecting the south would go a long
ways in reducing the static crashes which seem to be more prevalent in the south than the 
north, hence better signal to noise for all those pesky Alaskans you keep logging !

my 2 cents (or is it a nickel, beverage container/deposit)

Hi:

I have been using Beverage antennas on the Oregon Coast for years. A
question has come to mind. Does anyone know if the only reason to
terminate a beverage is to kill the signal off the other end? In
otherwords, are there are other advantages to having a beverage
terminated?  I have one running to the North and to the South is pretty
much ocean. California is more SSE.  Ideas anyone?  Thanks.
73s,

Patrick
