Kevin, A center fed bog, assuming fed with coax or zip cord, would be a dipole on the ground and would be a DOG, probably in all senses of the word. I assume this is a temporary night time only antenna because of yard restrictions. If you can get 300' of wire out, you probably get a feedline to one end. You would have directivity with that much as a bog and signal strength strongest up band. Plus, it would fire off both ends if not terminated at the end opposite feed, although probably not as well as off the feed end which is grounded. I could be wrong but I believe John Bryant has written an article on short beverages and their tendencies, but I don't recall if they were bogs or not. I think the articles are at dxing.info I have had success on a small lot with ewes of 18x40x18', bogs in the alley behind house of 275 and 500 feet, run parallel and phased, and phased 15' wire verticals separated by 60' and phased. I got the idea from Dallas Langford's pages. 73 Gil _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
