Topband: BOG height

[Joe]

beverages have always fascinated me. But I have never had the property 
to have one.

I might now, BUT, how do you know how long and what direction to lay it 
out to maximize signal to the desired direction?

I assume the longer it is, the higher gain it has and more towards the 
ends the lobe is?
