Since I can see that my preliminary BOG installations are not yielding
satisfactory results, perhaps it is time to look elsewhere.

The BOG as unerminated, 200 feet long each, on pointed 210 so I can hear EU
off the back.and one pointed 300 so I can also hear Afrida off the back.

I din't have room for longer BOGs, and I don't see a reason to put up
beverages of that length as the performance will be sup-optimal.

So I am looking into other alternatives.   The K9AY would be too close to my
transmitting antenna in the back.

The DX Engineering 4-pack active receive antenna array package looks
interesting.  It's a but challenging to get set up, and it's about $1000.
While I want to get some more activity on 160, I am not sure that this is
the way to go over my inverted L.  Will it hear that dramatically different?
AA6YQ says he loves his/  I trally need to be sure before I make a large
investment like this.
