Seventeen pages of how to build beverages — using the KISS method. Tom, OH2BEN, notes:
Because I am not an engineer or technically oriented person, this is also a learning process for me. I am good to solder PL259’s, but all electronic stuff is beyond my understanding. But I am learning. And I can assure you, that it takes a lot of time to understand all technical nuances and there are still a lot of things what I cannot understand. Therefore all notes are just how I understand it and in a KISS way. And therefore you cannot expect to see some nice or new ideas
Tom OH2BEN has written a short article OH2BEN Reversible Beverage Array -20-10-2007
about his Reversible Beverage array project. His array consists of 3
reversible Beverages that can be switched to receive in 6 directions.

Terrible propagation most of the weekend but I had a great time anyway
My SO2R skills are still improving and I pushed the second radio very hard this
time
Thanks to Peter, LA7SL we just managed to finish the 4-square for 40 in time
for the contest and it sure did help. It nearly equalled the 20 meter score!!!
Everything worked flawlessy except for some ghosts showing up in the shack the
last couple of hours. Maybe I should have slept more.........

Da var tiden kommet for ett av høstens absolutte høydepunkt, nemlig CQ World Wide testen på RTTY siste helgen i september. Dette var andre gangen på rad jeg skulle delta i denne testen i single operatør klassen. Jeg begynte med RTTY i 2003 og har etter hvert fått en meget stor lidenskap for denne modulasjonsformen. I løpet av disse årene har jeg vært med i seks tester hvorav fire av dem har vært som single operatør. Jeg bruker to radioer, også kalt SO2R (Single Operator Two Radio) når jeg kjører alene.
