Hi Guy,No Beverage antennas here, just unterminated longwires, but decent length--1600' for E/W; only 400' for N/S. The E/W runs east so it's 'over the shoulder' for the west; N/S runs south. I use the E/W for all TA LWBC reception; I switch to a 35 x 75 terminated Conti loop for TA MW reception. (I use the E/W longwire for TP MW reception too.) I have two ALA100 120' circumference loops up too, one N/S and one E/W. They work fine, but are no comparison to the longwires, even the short 400' one. I'm definitely spoiled with being able to have the longwires, and never forget how fortunate I am to be able to have them.
