Have you had success terminating a BOG Russ? (supposedly it is ~200
ohms, rather than the raised Beverage's ~450 ohms).
I think some have found that it is self terminating, to a degree, as
there is quite a bit of loss on reflected signals.
best wishes,
Nick

It isn't a dumb question because the answer is yes and no. If you
terminate a BOG at one end, that should more focus the reception
pattern in favor of the terminated end. If you're looking for
stations from the N, then terminate at the N end. In the event that
the desired result is an antenna which receives both N and S but
nulls E and W, then you lay it out N-S and do not terminate it.
