Hi Mike, et al.
I have personal acquaintance and knowledge of a number of hams who have put
down a BOG that was anything but straight. Some with 90 degree bends,
another shaped like a Z, and less extreme bends. The end of those small

I think BOG is a perfect name. It honors the inventor Harold Beverage.
We have lots of things in ham radio that are misnamed but BOG isn't one
