One BOG was very low.


I'm thinking BOGs are low by definition, but that's probably not what you were talking about :-)

Tony, to confirm that the busted ferrite is the actual reason your BOG is low, do you have an identical feedpoint transformer you can swap in and see if it also has the same symptom?  From your description, all we really know is that the degradation in performance of the antenna and the condition of the binocular core are coincidental.

Your BOG might have some other issue that replacing the ferrite won't change.

Just thinking out loud.
