OK Tim, this is what I recalled as your DU's come of the back end. You're
losing at least a couple dB compared to being fed from the east end. This
loss is greater in the upper band and helps explain why your BOGs aren't
effective for X-band Aussies.

My BOG wires are 400 FT & 500 FT and spaced roughly 1-1/2 to 2 feet apart.
Google Earth tells me the bearing is about 78 / 257 degrees which is 2
degrees off from Sydney. The wires are fed from the west end and are left
unterminated at the far end towards the east. The wires have been deployed
fo
Tim's setup is what I call a Phased BOG System and it is very effective.
Note that the BOG should be at least somewhat different in length and/or
direction or you will have the same signal on each BOG from every direction
and when you phase you'll null almost everything.
Tim, please tell us how lo
Hi Mark,
I do exactly what you're trying to do by using a pair of unterminated BOGs
(Beverage On the Ground). The parallel BOG wires (via matching
transformers and coax) are connected to a phasing box (such as the Quantum
Phaser by DX Tools). This will give you east-west reversibility from the
s
Product placement. :-)
Just testing you -- make sure you're awake.

Termination? Change the position of the termination.

KGDD 1150 Portland, OR is off the air leaving the channel open for KKNW Seattle
with a S-4 signal. A few years ago the call was KXET and their transmitting
equipment was stolen and they were off the air for about 6 months. Transmitter
is across the river in Vancouver, WA.
Colin:
I can't see how a Vactrol change in termination value relates to changing the
termination location for a Beverage.
Mark:
How far is it to the far end of the Beverage? Is it feasible to run coax that
far? If so, just put the termination at the west end.

Has anyone tried the new MFJ-1884 loop antenna? It is similar looking to
the Wellbrook and the Pri1B,and is only 269.95. But since it is from MFJ
(Mighty Fine Junk) I just worry that the amplifier isn’t as good as the
Wellbrook or the Pro1b

Check out DX Engineering. they have some good stuff for reversible Bogs.

Change the location of the termination --
That is what I do with my FLAGS using electronic VACTROL's -- the nulls and
directional characteristics are breathtaking.

What is your favorite way of implementing a reversible beverage?
For example, I have a lot of real estate (well, a farmer's field) to my
east. Normally I'd run a beverage out there and terminate it at the far
end, making it directional to the East. Using the same layout, what's
the best way to
Thursday night EDT/0300 UTC, there were carriers galore on the AM band:

I never saw anything like it and at first, I thought there was something
wrong with my radio because there w

on a couple. Lots of hets including DU though and expanded band with
