- Hello fellow topband colleges. Hope I can post, and get some help here. I have started to think about upcoming fall, and what kind of listening antennas I should use. I am currently new on low and to

- The longest BOG I ever deployed was 5000 feet. The QTH was the desert west of Lancaster, California. Awsome up to about 3 MHz. Brian, KD6NRP BOG antennas "love" desert and sandbar locations. The actu

- Besides the benefits mentioned, I find the BOG has less QRN, NOISE, in disturbed conditions. Then it can often make the difference between working some DX, and working no DX. 73, Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.n

- Hi Bruce, I have a simple switchable coaxial BOG running NE-SW. I have often noticed that it is not bothered much by rain. In fact, I would consider this a valid "selling point" of the BOG. Having sa

- All of my bare wire Beverages experience rain or snow static. Those with insulated wire -- whether BoG or above ground -- do not. Snowflakes and raindrops take on a charge in the clouds and discharge

- It's refreshing to get input from many sources. I always believed that the static was not from a nearby tower as I have three close by. The BOG antenna did not hear the noise, but other antennas did.
