In the period of Nov. 23 to Nov 25 had extreme QRN from storms. (May have been those in upstate New York). Listening for the Galapagos Island stations was very tough with my above ground Beverages Tried my 200 foot two wire, two direction BOG and they were good easy copy. There were not many on the band, very few calling made for easy contacts.
Found in late summer that my BOG does have a weak point..... Did not stand up well to my gasoline powered lawn mower, having strayed to the edge of the field too much...( ; >])) Ran new wire before the Galapagos contacts.. Photos or the actual 2 wire BOG transformers are on my WEB page. 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fz/bogantennanotes/index.html _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
