The November issue of QST[1] includes the article, "The Beverage Antenna, 100
Years Later," by Ward Silver, N0AX, and Frank Donovan, W3LPL. The famous
receiving antenna, designed and patented in 1921 by Harold Beverage, W2BML,
remains popular for the low bands as increasing sunspot activity in Solar Cycle
25 leads to weaker signals on 160 and 80 meters. The article explains the
Beverage antenna's noise-rejection abilities, as well as how to build a basic
Beverage antenna system.

The November issue also includes a special contesting insert, "Contest Season
2021 - 2022," which is full of resources and hints to help you have your best
radiosport season yet.
