Kevin, Thanks. I do the same when at home, but it wouldn't work on the beach as neither coax nor my military commo wire have the necessary flexibility to wrap around the Kchibo D96l to easily couple the BOG to the rx. The RS clip lead does. South African Gary Deacon couples his little M37 to his 200 meter bog by wrapping a few turns around the rx. This works fine for my D96L.
This was the first time on the beach with the BOG and next time, I'll put out a longer Bog and be more careful in the layout. I'm 45 degrees great circle bearing to London and the layout last night was closer to 30 degrees. Next time I'll shoot more towards 60 degrees as 40-45 degrees pretty much follows the Eastern coastline towards Europe. A more easterly direction should offer more side rejection to the west of me as I'm about 1000 miles from Boston which means I'm plowing through a lot of east coast stations towards Europe and Africa. 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]
