>I'm getting serious about running another BOG antenna, my first was destroyed by
>a bulldozer after the hurricane.
> As long as I'm putting in the labor, I want to build the best I can. I have searched >and don't find anything really new, just match and terminate properly, keep it on the ground, >not covered by debris, and make good grounds. W8JI has the ferrite loading idea, for regular BOGs, >which I did use about 9 binocular cores (thru one hole) on my previous BOG.
> Are there any improvements to BOG antennas floating around?
>My main use will be AM BCB, but some 160M and 80M, but any optimization would be for AM band use.
> Here is a comparison of my 250ft BOG to my 150ftlong wire, 30ft high.
>Note: my B0G feed line was twisted speaker wire. That's a subject for a different thread.
