Chris, Take a look at the electric cord reels at Home Depot. There's a cheap model, under 10 bux, that has a fast pick and maybe a little easier to control. I keep my two BOGs on 2 of the reels. Fast deployment and pick up.
Your lengths are probably more suited for upper band reception than for lower band. The only upper band frequency that you noted was at 1540. If you've got the time and wire, try a longer bog. If you could make a bog 500' or longer, you might be amazed at the difference, especially if you could do A/B/C testing at your dx site, with the three BOGs oriented in the same direction. 73 Gil _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
