I'm about to do some measurements on a BOG. I've been a little slow getting things working, I've now got my inside and outside boxes assembled, I understand I can break the BOG in the middle and fin
I laid down 260ft of wire as a dipole on the ground, it is resonant at 1190kHz. I calculate this as a VF of 0.685, my calculation is actually 0.315 but I don't think that's right, so I subtracted fro
Hi Mikek, Speed of Light = Frequency x Wavelength Therefore: Speed of Light/Frequency = Wavelength Speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s (I normally just use 300,000,000 m/s) Therefore: (300,000,000m/s)
Hi, Mikek, BOGs have a very miscellaneous performance, some love 'em, some hate 'em, nobody telling a lie. One part of a back yard can have a heated BOG argument with a different part of the same bac
Mikek, I made a number of measurements of my Beverages last summer including using TDR to estimate physical length. This depends on knowing the VF of the wire. However, If you know the physical lengt
