An article from another Blog about the construction of a Wave Antenna (also known as a Beverage Antenna).

This type of Antenna takes one of its names, the Beverage Antenna; from the Inventor and Electrical Engineer Harold Henry “Bev” Beverage, who was born in 1893, and had passed away nine months short of his 100th Birthday in January, 1993.

Specifically, Mr. Beverage had passed away on January 27, 1993; a little over a month before the 1993 Storm of the Century.
