As a note about my recent posting, I listened early last night to the under-ice beverages. They still show good directivity on the BC band - I can listen to two different stations on the same frequency by switching beverages.
But, the sensitivity on the ham bands is waaaaay down. S9+ signals on 40 were S1, and I couldn't hear band noise on 160 even with the rig's preamp on! I know this isn't exactly the "beverage on ground" BOG system, but I had hoped it would work adequately. It doesn't, which is why I posted my earlier question.
