Hi Jeff,
Will pass your email on to the 160 meter topband reflector. Africa has much
noise, & not many noise free areas. Unfortunately your QTH is not in one of
them.
Noise is additive, so the right directive antenna will help.

Hi Bruce:
I had lunch with Lau
Elan,
Need to use the coax impedance that the BOG transformer was manufactured for:
If F fitting use 75 ohm coax like RG-6
If SO-239 larger coax fitting ,then use 50 ohm coax like RG-58 or RG-8.

Bruce,
Did you sweep from say the AM band up to 40M to find the null? Was the
null pronounced? I assume as you shortened the wire you hooked up to a
terminating resistor and repositioned the ground r
find minimum signal, trimmed the
BOG wire to bring the null into 160 meters.

Was very busy so did not get on. Did spot listen at times. Found at my QTH
condx were poor. Signals at high angles.
The best front to back, and copy was on my BOG (SE-NW).
When high bands are real good, 160 meters is often poor. .
Hope 160 is better tonight.

I waterproof with silicon as best possible, and the most important part is
make an upside down U turn in the coax at the end. Water does not "like" to
flow up hill in most cases.

not.
Typically we develop products the opposite way around.
Please don't loose any sleep over it, but if you do, could go work some DX.

them where they cross each other.
If not connected, voltage differences leak power away.
Takes time but in mid winter, it worth it. Busting through a pile up
easily can bring a smile.

Used the non fed tower as a tuned reflector against ground.
Required a lot of switching relays.
It worked better than a single vertical, but not great.
Got some front to back that was useful on receive.
It was a lot of years ago, unable to remember all the details.
