Topband: BevFlex-4X - RX antenna

[Artek Manuals]

Tim

Which antenna will you be using ; BOG, Beverage or a FLAG/Pennant

I have been doing some experimenting with the BF-4X with BOGs and 
Beverages in both very poor sandy soil and then again at a water front 
(salt) canal location. Eventually I will get around to trying out a 
FLAG/Pennant style as well. Seems to work pretty well in my dry sandy 
location� the performance has been less than stellar so far next to the 
saltwater canal, I think this may have more to do with the seawall near 
by. This is a BOG issue and not any problem with the BF-4X boxes. with 
BOGS i tried it in an end fed and center� fed configuration� and an of 
center feed with a beverage.

The for BF-4X literature says BOGs from 100 to 300' . For my poor soil 
conditions I find that 200' ( as many other s have reported for BOGs) is 
the upper limit> performance was noticeably poorer at 225', 250' and 
350' . This is a function of soil conditions and not the boxes and YMMV.
