I'm thinking of trying a BOG as I could run it across the corner of my
neighbor's field (after he's finished mowing for the season.)
My questions are:
Can a BOG be used un-terminated and is it then bi-directional, as is a
conventional beverage?
In a terminated BOG, is the maximum received signal
Stew,
A BOG can do a good job untermnated. If too long they self
terminate. Depends upon the soil as to length.

The biggest mistake is making the BOG antenna too
Gale,
I believe the BOG would appear to be bi-directional without termination,
however you lose most of the benefits (RDF) of the BOG using it that way.
As with the Beverage, the BOG has maximum reception in the direction of
the end having the resistive termination.

Hi,
What is the Phone segment for EU stations on 75 meters?
I am tunning my 75/80m antenna for WAE SSB... it is very narrow (100 Khz), so,
I want to know the most active segment during contest...Resonance (SWR 1:1) on
3625 Khz now...Is it Ok or to low?...maybe can work split...
Thanks,
Doug,
