Comparing a Short Beverage Antenna to a Flag Antenna at Home

An audio comparison demonstrating reception differences between a short Beverage antenna out in the wilds and a standard flag antenna used at home. Click here to hear the recording.

It's the first time I have tried a simultaneous DXing exercise, listening both at home and on a Beverage antenna, six miles from home. I knew there would be differences, but even this short Beverage have some surprising results.

The receiver at home was an Elad FDM-S2. The receiver at the field was a Perseus SDR.

Correction: I incorrectly state that the Beverage antenna was 180 metres in length. It was actually 136 metres.
