In the period of Nov. 23 to Nov 25 had extreme QRN from storms. (May have been
those in upstate New York). Listening for the Galapagos Island stations was
very tough with my above ground Beverages
Tried my 200 foot two wire, two direction BOG and they were good easy
copy. There were not many on the band, very few calling made for easy
contacts.
Found in late summer that my BOG does have a weak point..... Did not stand up
well to my gasoline powered lawn mower, having strayed to the edge of the
field too much...( ; >]))
Ran new wire before the Galapagos contacts.. Photos or the actual 2
wire BOG transformers are on my WEB page.
