Yes - On the Ground (only). My plan is to find a spooler and go to the
soccer fields near work. Unwind it and DX, then crank it back on the
spool. I also have a crate for the Crate Loop project and for as
gentle as I would be with it, I think 18 g would be okay. NOT if I was
leaving outdoors
Likewise I'm really fascinated with EWE's to include David Hamilton's
Slinky version. Unfortunately they may be too quiet for use here and
may need an amp. Wonder if one could put a EWE on the ground?

Wow. Unfortunately no room for 40X75 SuperLoop, K9AY, KAZ etc.,
antennas here!

Subject: RE: [Amdx] Is
BOG - if you really mean On the Ground then it might be. I've never done a
BOG. But I really like 12 Guage stranded wire for loop antennas. Usually
about $50 at Home Depot for 500 feet. Found better deals on eBay but
shipping usually makes it about the same price. Brown is REALLY stealth !
I'm presently in love with big loops. I wonder how a portable loop of maybe
15 feet high by 45 feet long compares to a 500 ft BOG ? I can tell you the
loop is really quiet with no reliance on an earth ground. The longwires I
strung up 300 feet, 10 feet in the air were VERY noisy.

Hmmm, my 23'x30' loop/flag is a bit in need of an amp.
My 45'x75' SuperLoop actually has too much gain and I need to engage
attenuators on the rx !
