Topband: BOG height

[Mark K3MSB]

I’ve used BOGs and RBOGs at 200 feet length laying on the ground.     The
BOG worked great,  the RBOG worked good, but not as good as the BOG.

 Others tried them in my local area based upon my experiences and said they
didn’t work at all.

 This is typical of people that have used / tried BOGs.
