Re: [IRCA] Beverage antenna/ALA 100

["Chris Knight" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick,

I'm interested in the ALA 100 also, especially if the figure 8 pattern is
narrow. It uses +12VDC. So there's some sort of active circuit inside the
little blackbox. Do you (or anyone else) know what the circuit does for the
antenna?

73,

Chris

Chris,

Yes, I went to the computer and even though the Beverage is running at
60-65 degrees, I guess using True North it is closer to 80 degrees. No
wonder the Beverage doesn't do well on TA MW DX. The EWE's are forgiving
enough with a fatter lobe that the 15 degrees doesn't really matter. I
guess I am stuck with the 80 degrees the Beverage run. Oh well..... I
may try a shorter wire // to the beverage for another fat lobe. I will
see how the ALA 100 goes too.

73,

Patrick
