Topband: Modeling a BOG

[James Wolf]

Mike,

That’s the plan, however it’s warm in the shack and bitter cold outside.

Thanks,

Jim – KR9U

Thanks. I see what you mean! That's not much of a pattern.

I'm far from being an NEC expert. But everything I've ever read indicates that ANY version of NEC is simply not yet advanced to the point where it can model wires close to the earth with any degree of accuracy.

Why don't you lay a 200' wire on the ground, aimed towards your area of interest? Bury the radials at each end (no more than an inch or two), and see what you can hear? :-)
