receive antenna. I live on a half-acre suburban lot and these antennas
are doable.
But I have a question about them. Does a substantial snowpack -- let's
say a foot or more -- have an effect on the performace of on-the-ground
Hello Guy,
I understand that the dielectric constant of snow is far higher than air.
But wouldn't some length of a BOG covered with snow at least hear better
than the mag and wire loop that he currently has?

True the lower velocity factor does bring the frequency down lower with
snow leaves. In my case found that 215 feet may be best in the dry
month in summer, 200 feet is best on 160 meters year around. I can
get 3 S points front to back on my two wire reversible BOG under deep
snow, but it is
