Default beverage antennas for transmitting?

"Has anyone used it as a transmitting antenna?

I had a military communicarions manual that recommended the Beverage
antenna for transmitting as well as for receivimng. However, the
recommendation was for an unterminated Beverage with a height of 10 feet
or more. Length, 2 or more wavelengths.

On the other hand, the military manual also recommended laying a wire
directly on the earth if necessary and extending it as far as possible
towards its target for a 2-way antenna. It had a stealth advantage and
was expected to be usable.
