Photos of the WØUY 2008 Beverage receiving antenna installation.
In 2008 the North East / South West antenna was extended to a total length of 600 feet. Reception into Europe has been improved with the additional 120 foot length.

Close end of 600 foot Beverage. Twin lead is secured to side of 4x4 rather than the top. This is a different method that was used in 2007

How high should a Beverage antenna should be placed? If the tractor won't go under the Beverage it is too low.

Ground clearance on the 600 foot Beverage. Enough room for my tractor or a County Fire brush truck!
