- Pete, Normally a 20 degree bend should not amount to much except a very slight pattern skew and slight gain reduction in the desired direction.. You might , however, wish to take advantage of the vel

- Pete, I just read your inquirery about BOG. I thought that I read somewhere that if it is laying on the ground, that changes its resonant freq. I would be very interested in what you find out and how

- Given that BOGS are right at root level, the velocity factor along the BOG wire will be somewhere between 45 and 75%, most often toward the 50% end of the range if it's pushed down good in the grass

- I am in the process of experimenting with an RBOG .. I have seen in several places that BOGS are "self-terminating" and as such have an optimum length (on 160M) of something on the order of 200-250
