Re: [IRCA] BOG question

160 meters, being above the AM/MW band could be effective at somewhat shorter distances than for AM/MW, but 150-200' isn't really a BOG ( Beveridge on Ground ) it's a longwire. A BOG needs to be upwards of 500' I would think. I've used BOG's on MW/AM ranging anywhere from 500' to 1200'. The main

IRCA, BOG users, how long do you make yours?  I keep hearing from other Hams that for 160m between 150 to 200 feet.  I seem to remember hearing on here about some that were much longer. Thanks, Steve -- Stephen Hawkins NG0G n...@arrl.net 73 49 111 01001001

Let me ask this again: I've been toying with the idea of getting 5-600' of wire and hooking it to either my old DX-400 or newer S-350 and heading to the soccer fields, near work. I do understand that both radios have built in antennas and that it would interject some signals too but at least I
