Typing on my iPhone from the woods now. I am testing a JK BevFlex 4 deployed
as a bog now. Early stages. I think the optimum length will be determined by
the local earth characteristics. Started by measuring a wire dipole resonance

My original 200 foot BOG had a good F/B on 80m but showed almost no

longer to improve the 160m performance with my particular soil conditions
and environment.
