i have tried both the dx engineering reversible and the kd9sv (available at
dx engineering). both work well performance wise. i think the kd9sv is
easier to string up because you use a much smaller telephone wire, whereas
the dx engineering uses ladder line. the plus with the dx engineering is

I have a 1000' spool that I'd like to try, so terminating at the east
end isn't feasible. I think leaving it non-terminated is best. I
wonder... I am using the ICE beverage transformer at the near end to go
from long wire to 50-ohm coax feed into the house, so I'm assuming it
can it be termina
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

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

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

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
