• 40 meters band beverage antenna - The author describes his experience building and using a Beverage antenna for the 40-meter band. Despite encountering some challenges, the antenna offered some improvements in receiving stations compared to a 3-element inverted Vee antenna. The Beverage antenna showed a significant daytime signal-to-noise ratio improvement and received signals better than the Vee antenna. However, the front-to-back ratio was not ideal, and the transmit power seemed to affect the Beverage antenna. Overall, the author concludes that the Beverage antenna might be more suitable for locations with higher noise levels. The total cost of the antenna was around 30 Euros.

• Beverage Transformers for HF Receiving Antennas - This FAQ covers building and buying transformers for loop-on-ground and Beverage antennas. Building one uses ferrite cores and thin wire. Buying is an option, with the DX Engineering BFS-1 being recommended. These transformers isolate the antenna from the cable to prevent unwanted signal pickup.

• The Reversible BOGs - The author struggled with receiving antennas on his property. After a standard Beverage on Ground (BOG) antenna failed, he built a Reverse Beverage on Ground (RBOG) using telephone cable. He details construction and testing, finding the RBOG outperformed other antennas in noise level, signal strength, and reception pattern. Software modeling helped optimize the antenna length. Unfortunately, the project ended when telephone cable from the second RBOG was stolen.

• An Overview of Beverage Receiving Antennas  ^new - This article explores Beverage antennas, a type used for low-frequency radio reception. Despite the mystique, they are relatively simple wire antennas placed near the ground. Their key benefit is improved signal-to-noise ratio by rejecting unwanted signals. While lengthier antennas offer better reception, even shorter versions (around 200 feet) can improve DX reception compared to traditional antennas.

• Chokes and Isolation Transformers for Receiving Antennas - Chokes and isolation transformers are essential for receiving antennas to mitigate common mode current, which induces noise and interferes with signal quality. Common mode chokes, formed by winding feedline through ferrite cores, block unwanted current effectively. Proper selection of core material and winding turns ensures resonance near the operating frequency, reducing interference. Isolation transformers further minimize interference, crucial for multi-transmitter stations.

• Innovative 2m to HF Converter - Ulrich L. Rohde N1UL conceived an outstanding 2m to HF receiving converter with specific requirements, including 144-148MHz to 28-32MHz coverage, low noise, high IP3, and a unique modular design. The design decisions emphasize modularity, absence of preselection, stability, and a passive mixer, showcasing Rohde's distinctive approach.
