The antenna measures 7.5m ? 7.5 m, and its shape is not critical ? it can be a square, rectangle, or circle. The wire simply lies on the ground. For the feedpoint, you can use a simple 9:1 Beverage balun, or even better, the feedpoint preamp from? Hamparts_shop . The results were impressive once again! I monitored K1LT on 160 meters and then compared my 68-meter-long Beverage on Ground (BOG) antenna with the LOG. Here are the result. https://youtu.be/E959mU-_exU?is=lc2jbwznCoguk9kI 73,Andy DL8LAS ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband ------------------------------ End of Topband Digest, Vol 286, Issue 6 *************************************** _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
