Some say a BOG is not effective at/over salt water. For grins I installed a 200’ BOG to Europe. 4:1 Binocular XFMR, #18 single wire, (92 Ohm Termination= 1.1:1 SWR on RG6 cable) 4’ Ground Rods, No radials. Works about same as K9AY. Maybe 8DB down in sig strength. Installed approximately from 1’ to a maximum of 30’ from salt water.
I would say it works and can be installed rapidly. Val N4RJ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
