Topband: BOIG antenna changes

[K1FZ-Bruce]

Years ago, before 1920, Harold Beverage ran a "wave antenna" wire on the ground on Mount Desert Island, Maine over the rocks on the shore line to a Navy Barrage receiver, near Otter Cliff's.  He discovered its directional properties. 
Later about  ca ~1948 Albert E. Weymouth, Original W1BX call sign, had me, a 9 year neighbor kid, help him with a wire on ground, and also with a buried  under ground wire antenna.  
I bring this up because I recently heard someone on 160 SSB  give a, now middle age ham, credit for inventing the BOG antenna. 
 
Many times I have inquires from those new to 160 meters and interested in a BOG antennas.  With Beverage as part of the name Multi band operation is assumed. 
Research by Luis, IV3PRK at HC1PF has confirmed that the antenna is a one band device when expecting a real good pattern. Reduced directivity can be found on other bands

 A name change  has been talked about, but never got going. 
Wire on ground is most descriptive, with WOG a single letter change. 

 
Started the ball rolling (slowly) by changing the bogantennanotes wording, and will continue  as time permits..
