I installed a StackmatchII+ a week ago on my 40m beams at 160' and 75' and I
tested it out thoroughly during the Sweepstakes contest this weekend. In
nearly all cases, BIP was better than BOP so I rarely used BOP.

After hundreds of recent tests, the BOP mode is a dud for the most part.
Even when listening to these
daytime 40m nets, BIP is louder than BOP

My results with BOP have been quite different. On all bands from 10-40 I
incorporated BIP/BOP/TOP/BOT and found the BOP quite useful. Perhaps it
was because my stacks were quite high. ie. 200 for 40, 200 for 20, 140 for
15 and 165 for 10. With the exception of the 40 stack, all were 4 or 6
high
stacks...maybe that was the reason.
