Hi Ben,

  My results with a 150 foot BOG aimed NW and terminated with 350 ohms has 
been rather startling to me.  For the past two days (since I installed it to 
try) I have been able to get Q5 copy on H40 from here in Maine. Yesterday it 
was the only antenna of 3 different types that I could copy Jacek.  Today it 
copied about the same as my RX4sq beaming the same direction.  On Oct 11th 
my RX4 sq was the only antenna I could copy on and the phased Beverages West 
are a bit noisier than the BOG anyhow..
So, you see, You cant have enough receive antennas and the BOG was a very 
welcome addition this year.  Im actually planning another 150 foot BOG 
toward Europe to see how that plays.

Best of luck es 73
