Jim,
Out of curiosity, how many beverages do you have and in what directions? I've seen designs for two wire beverages that are reversible in direction. Would you happen to have any of those?
And yes, 6-8' in height is what I'm going to need as well for all of my flower and tree eating, four legged friends ;-)

Yes. K9AY Loops and similar antennas are what you want if you don't have room
for a Beverage. My 550 ft Beverages, designed for 160M and roughly 8 ft off the
ground so that deer don't take them down, work very well all the way up to 20M.
15M hasn't been open enough for me to figure out if they're working up there.
