If anyone is serious about trying a BOG, I would spend the time searching the Topband reflector archives for K2AV's comments about them. Although I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of Guy's thoughts concerning BOG length and soil conditions (measured with a DOG*), I am 99.9% convinced that what he's stated about BOGs is technically correct and very useful indeed to anyone who wants to build one.
