Can you be more specific about "deterioration"?


I experimented with Beverages for many years at my QTH with high
ground conductivity.  What I found was there was a 400 foot
limit to the length, beyond which any additional length was
a waste of wire.  However, I did not experience "deterioration".
Just no benefit to more wire.

I would think BOG's would be similar, but with an even shorter
length limit.  But again, I would be surprised if the performance
actually deteriorated.

YMMV.
