BOGs are highly ground dependent; At my QTH, they work well, and while the
signal level is significantly lower than the 850' BAG I run toward the South
BOGs show good directionality and selectivity. Variation in soil moisture
content affect performance as does the presence of wet leaves on top of them.
I use the preamp in my transceiver with good results.

anyone with experience using a 300' BOG? Suggestions based on your
experience?
ie are they worth it?
I tried one before but without a preamp and found it worthless. (
almost no signals heard)
suggestions on best preamps? With all in good working order, what
benefits do they provide? Comparable to a longer Beverage?
Tnx
Bob
