Hi Bob,
The most serious issue with your idea is "on the ground"
Even though BOGs are thought of being "on the ground" their
performance is severely compromised if they're not elevated
at least a few inches, typically by laying it on top of grass.
Is it possible to keep "on the ground" portion at least slightly
elevated?

I have 300 foot unterminated beverage mounted at 3 feet on the fence behind my
yard which extends behind two neighbors’ properties. Works GREAT!
Due to certain complications, I will need to turn antenna into a combination
standard beverage, and beverage on ground.
The antenna will remain at 3 feet for 110 feet behind our property, then drop
down 3 feet vertical, run another hundred feet horizontal on the ground, then
up 3 feet vertical for the and then the final 100 feet at 3 feet on a
neighbor’s fence.
Does anybody have an opinion as to how much degradation I’m likely to get from
this new antenna?
Thanks and 73,
Bob/AA6VB
